# How to change your VPS root password

### Changing your VPS root password

The root password for your VPS is the same as your WHM and first cPanel account. It can be changed via WHM - this guide details both methods.

#### Changing your VPS root password via WHM

1.  Within WHM select **Change Root Password** from the **Server Configuration** menu options.

2.  Enter you new root password twice - once in the **New root Password** field and again in the **Confirm Password** field.  
    Clicking the **eye** icon will show/hide the password you're typing and the **Generate** button will generate a random password you could use.
