Hello all,

I Cant log on to WHM, Even though the password is correct and SSH is working !!!

Only WHM does not let me in.

Can any one suggest a recourse ?

Thank you

Check cPHulk isn't restricting access - can you log in via SSH and whitelist your IP address?

hi i have this issue
i did this command but so far seems to not work

using the ssh putty

logged in as root

then typed
mysql

then typed
use cphulkd;

then typed

SELECT * FROM `brutes` WHERE `IP`=MYIPADDRESSHERE;

it showed me a login banned list

DELETE FROM `brutes` WHERE `IP`='MYIPADDRESS';

Yes, It was actually CPHulk that was acting up , But SSH was working and that helped me resolve the issue

Thank you every one

Do this in SSH command prompt (as root):

/scripts/cphulkdwhitelist YOURIPADDRESS

The root WHM uses the same password what you use when you connect using SSH, i.e. if you can log in using that password the password is correct, and if you can not log in in WHM, using that password, then changing the password does not help.

The root password you change using command
passwd
(as root of course).
