how can i view/change my dedicated server password using the Aplus.net control panel?

Answer by: George Kaloyanov, Aplus.Net Knowledge Base Support

Here is how you can view and change your initial Dedicated Server password on file using the Aplus.Net Control Panel.

I. VIEW DS PASSWORD

Note: Please note that in case you have changed your Plesk Control Panel Password or the Root/Administrator Password, this change will not be reflected in the Aplus.Net Control Panel.

In order to view your DS Password, click the Export button which is located at the top right corner. This will prompt you to save or open a CSV file containing all information about your dedicated server plans including the password.

II. CHANGE DS PASSWORD

Important: Please have in mind that changing your password through the Aplus.Net Control Panel does NOT change the password you use for Plesk and SSH root login (Unix-based servers) or Remote Desktop administrator login (Windows-based servers). The Plesk or Root/Administrator password can NOT be changed through the Aplus.Net Control Panel.

In case you have already changed your Plesk or Root/Administrator password, we recommend that you make the same change in the Aplus.Net Control Panel. Keeping us up-to-date with your current password will ensure that our Dedicated Server Support Technicians are able to login to your server when required. This will increase the speed and level of support we can offer as we will not be required to retrieve your current password by phone or email.

1. Start by logging to the Aplus.Net Control Panel at https://cp.aplus.net using your Registration number and Account password.
2. Click the Dedicated Servers tab from the top navigation bar.
3. Click on the dedicated server you'd like to manage.
4. Next, click the Change Password icon.
5. Enter your new password and click the Change button.
