Steps to Reset Your Password

1. Navigate to your VPS Dashboard and click Manage on the Server whose password you are changing.

1. 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.

This will set a new root or administrator password. If you have removed or don't have the QEMU guest agent installed on your server, this operation will fail. The server must be running to perform this action.

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).

Ebavke VNC Access

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.

VNC Access Enabled

• If you want to paste into the VNC, use the clipboard feature. This will input your commands directly to the server.
