How to reset an email password


Note: You can also check/confirm your email password by going to your Webmail page (If your domain is "yourdomain.net.au" you would go to "yourdomain.net.au/webmail" or "webmail.yourdomain.net.au"). If you can log in, it means the password is correct.

Step 1 - Log into cPanel and click on the Email Accounts icon.

Step 3 - Type in your new password in both fields, then click the Save button. Your password will need a strength greater than 50 to be accepted. Using upper case letters, numbers, symbols and having a longer password length will all increase the strength. The Password Generator button on this page will generate a random password, which you can use if you would like.
