Resetting inital login info

[Hajduk]

We have had the unfortunate experience of having a rogue webmaster that hijacked our site by changing the Cpanel Password and login. Is there a way we or the host can reset it to the original login information and where can I find details?

Thank you.

the password file is stored /etc/password and /etc/shadow.. any how I would not recommend you to reset it to original as the password might have been hijacked by your webmaster ...

OK what do I change exactly in the files. I recognize my login name but its mentioned a dozen of times, as for the pw I am lost.....

You should not change those files. You can reset an accounts password in WHM.
