    Default Move account with account password - ERROR! Help!!!

    I posted this into cpanel's support ticket, but having no response yet - might as well post here if someone can help me on this...

    Was trying to transfer an account from my reseller cpanel host to my own dedicated server. The following was the results from my dedicated server's WHM when I tried to move the account (those in curly brackets have been erased out for privacy purpose):

    --------------

    Anyone can help me on this one - or at least give me the pointers on how do I migrate those accounts manually - main thing I need is to grab the existing POP accounts and e-mail forwarding list. The rest shouldn't be a problem for now - of course, getting the WHM's move account with account password script to work would be the best!

    PLEASE HELP!

    I'm very certain you must have root access. I'm sure this would be a nice feature request for people that are on a reselling host that want to move up in the world to their own dedicated server. I'd suggestion making this a feature request on cPanel bugtraq.

    An option aroudn this may be tocreate a form that will ask them for their passwords... have it email to you, setup their new email addy in their cpanel and you're set.
