Changing your Plesk account password is an important step for maintaining account security.

Here’s how you can change the password for your Plesk account:

Step 1: Log in to Plesk

  1. Open your web browser and navigate to your Plesk login page:
    • Example: https://yourdomain.com:8443 or https://your-server-ip:8443.
  2. Enter your current username and password, then click Log In.

Step 2: Go to Profile Settings

  1. In the Plesk dashboard, locate your account information in the top-right corner.
  2. Click your username or account name and select Edit Profile from the dropdown menu.

Step 3: Change the Password

  1. In the Edit Profile section:
    • Enter your current password in the respective field.
    • Enter the new password in the appropriate field. Ensure it meets the security requirements (e.g., a mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and special characters).
    • Confirm the new password by typing it again in the confirmation field.

Step 4: Save Changes

  2. A confirmation message will appear indicating the password has been updated successfully.

  2. Log back in using your username and the new password to confirm it works.

Optional: Change Password via Server Access

If you cannot log in to Plesk, you can reset the password via SSH or your hosting provider’s control panel:

  1. Via SSH:
    • Log in to your server using SSH.
    • Run the command:

                plesk bin admin --set-password -passwd <new_password>

 

    • Replace <new_password> with your desired password.
  • Contact Hosting Provider:
    • If you don’t have server access, contact your hosting provider for assistance in resetting the password.

Tips for Managing Your Password

  • Use Strong Passwords: Choose a password that is difficult to guess, combining uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.
  • Store Password Securely: Use a password manager to store and manage your passwords securely.
  • Update Regularly: Change your password periodically to maintain security.
  • Avoid Reusing Passwords: Do not use the same password across multiple accounts.

By following these steps, you can easily change your Plesk account password to ensure your account remains secure.
