PASSWORD CHANGES
Password Manager
You can also change all of the passwords associated with your account and its users
from the Password Manager section of your PlusMailcontrol panel:
- Select "Password Manager" from the left navigation bar.
- Check the radio button next to the user whose password you want to change, enter and confirm
your desired new password in the appropriate fields, then click the
"Password Change" button.
- Allow 10 to 15 minutes for the password change to take effect.
POP/FTP/Telnet Password Changes with WebControl
You can change the password for any POP, POP/FTP, or POP/FTP/Telnet login
using your PlusMail WebControl Panel's
User Manager
feature. Just check the appropriate userid/login, enter the
desired new password, and then click "Change Password."
Primary POP/FTP/Telnet Login via Telnet
Use this method to change your primary account login
(yourdomain@yourdomain.com).
- Telnet to your account and log in with your username and current
password;
- At the Unix prompt, type:
passwd
- You will be prompted to enter your current password. Type it in and then
hit .
- After you successfully type in your password, you will be
prompted to type in your new password. Type it, then hit enter again.
Then it will ask you to confirm your new password.
Example:
charon:~$ passwd
Changing password for hostingmanual
Old Password: {enter your current password}
Enter the new password (minimum of 5 characters) Please use a combination
of upper and lower case letters and numbers.
New Password: {type your new password}
Re-enter new password: {retype new password}
charon:~$
Note that your passwords will not display as you type them in.
Changing Your WebControl Login and Password
The login and password for your WebControl panel are initially set to the
same values as your primary account login and password. However, they do
not have to be the same, and they are completely independent of each other.
Instructions for changing your WebControl password from the control panel
are available HERE.
To change your WebControl login and password from within telnet, locate the file named
plusmail_pass in your account's root directory (the first directory
you're in when you initially log in via telnet or FTP.) Delete the
plusmail_pass file, then immediately point your browser to your
WebControl Panel - you'll be asked to enter a new login and password. The
new login and password can be anything you want.
To delete the password file from telnet, type the following command at the
Unix prompt:
rm plusmail_pass
To delete from FTP, just use your FTP client's "delete file" function.
