We have created a YouTube tutorial for this process below:
Navigate to your VPS Dashboard and click Manage on the Server whose password you are changing.
This will bring you to your Server's Dashboard, locate the Options tab then navigate down to the Root/Administrator Password section and click Reset Password.
Select "Administrator" if you installed Windows OS.
Select "root" if you installed Linux on your VPS
Click Reset and the new password will be delivered to the email linked with your 1OF1 Servers account.
Please allow 2-3 minutes to receive the email before reattempting the password reset.
Check ALL folders, spam, junk, promotions for the email.
Please do not change these settings unless you are an experienced or advanced user or are otherwise told to do so by a staff of 1of1 Servers.
You can do more harm than good.
You should only enable this option if you are having issues or need to install using CD/DVD media.
By enabling VNC Access you can:
Connect to the server as if you were in front of it
Access the Terminal Command Prompt instead of using SSH
Detect and fix server unavailability issues
Install or reinstall the OS using a custom image
Start by clicking "Enable VNC Access", you can see that the current status is "Disabled" (top right).
VNC access is over an unencrypted connection. An attacker suitably positioned to view the network traffic could record and monitor your activity.
Once enabled, the status will reflect the change (top right). By clicking "Browser VNC" a terminal will open where you can manually customize your server beyond our dashboard's settings.
If you want to paste into the VNC, use the clipboard feature. This will input your commands directly to the server.
