Hi,
We can reset the account password for the cpanel account by using commands. We usually do it by login to WHM interface and then use the modify account section. But this can be done simply using command line.
This post is usefull for some one who doesn't have a cpanel license on the server.
Below is the commands to reset the cpanel account password
1)First we need to change an environment variable in the current shell we are using export command
export ALLOW_PASSWORD_CHANGE=1
2)Then use the command
/scripts/chpass username password
This will change the account password
3)But the ftp password won't sync with the new update. So you need to run the below command to update it
/scripts/ftpupdate
Cheers
