    Hello,

    I would like to change all my user accounts to be owned by root instead of being owned by a previous reseller account that I've now removed. Is there any wasy way to do this without doing each one individually?

    I can't user the change multiple accounts because I can't sellect "root" from the drop down list as it's not available.

    Thanks in advance.

    ssh to the box and:

    cd /var/cpanel/users

    replace OWNER=reseller_user OWNER=root -- *

    Of course, replace reseller_user with the username of the reseller that you are trying to change ownership from.
