Invalid root password and without ssh access

[gnoccentral]

First sorry for my bad English...


Well my problem is this:

I have a dedicated and I have disabled SSH Password Authorization Tweak, I do not have a key to access the ssh.

I had to change the ROOT password on my WHM because of a problem I had on my keyboard.

But after changing the password the new password is not working, i has asked the DC to change the password but all passwords are invalid, I tried to use the KVM but I still can not access.

I'm being automatically redirected in the screen to change to a more secure password, but when I click change password get sent to a screen that says that the old password is wrong ...

I already sent a ticket (cPanel support) but told me that without access to SSH can not help me.

There how to solve this problem?


Thanks

Hello,

Sadly, your hosting provider, data center or NOC are the only people that can assist you with this.

How can they help me how to proceed??

Because so far they just say they can only change the password any more and that you (cPanel) that could help me.

I'm in the dark on the edge of a great abyss, I feel like that =)

Hello,

Sorry you feel that way. But the root password is actually set up on the server (at the OS level), and while cPanel/WHM can change it for you, all the cPanel/WHM software actually does is call the passwd binary from the OS.

Your data center has to change the password to something and after they do that, can you then access WHM? SSH can be used for many diagnostics (and is required if you want cPanel technical analysts to assist you), so it should not be disabled. See if your data center can re-enable ssh for you so that you can ssh back in. If you then still need help, please open up a support ticket again. The reason the technical analysts couldn't help you last time is because there was no ssh access which will be required if you want us to help.

Peter,

I'll try again with DC.
