In case you have forgotten your login credentials or have issues accessing your VPS, you can easily reset your admin login credentials. To do that, connect to your VPS via SSH<\/a><\/b> and follow the specific instructions for the OS you’re using:<\/p>

\n<\/p>

CyberPanel<\/h2>

Once you’ve connected to your VPS via SSH, enter the following command, making sure to replace pass<\/i> with the actual password you want to use for the admin account:<\/p>

\n<\/p>

\/usr\/bin\/adminPass pass<\/code><\/pre>
\n<\/p>
That’s all, you have just reset your login credentials! Now you can log in to your CyberPanel control panel. <\/p>
\n<\/p>
DirectAdmin<\/h2>
After connecting to your VPS via SSH, enter the following command, making sure to replace pass <\/i>with the actual password you want to use for the admin account:<\/p>
\n<\/p>
echo \"admin:pass\" | chpasswd<\/code><\/pre>
\n<\/p>
And there you have it! Now you can log in and configure your DirectAdmin control panel.<\/p>
\n<\/p>
HestiaCP<\/h2>
From the SSH terminal once connected to your VPS, use the following command, making sure to replace pass<\/i> with the actual password you want to use for the admin account:<\/p>
\n<\/p>

\n<\/p>
\n<\/p>
Game Panel<\/h2>
Resetting your Game Panel requires a few steps after connecting to your VPS via SSH. First, stop all the running processes with this command:<\/p>
\n<\/p>
su - amp -c \"ampinstmgr stop ADS01\"<\/code><\/pre>
\n<\/p>
Next, set login credentials for the Root Admin account. Make sure that you change user<\/i> to the username you want to use and pass<\/i> to the password you want to use:<\/p>
\n<\/p>
su - amp -c \"ampinstmgr resetlogin ADS01 user pass\"<\/code><\/pre>
\n<\/p>
Finally, start Game Panel processes again:<\/p>
\n<\/p>
su - amp -c \"ampinstmgr start ADS01\" <\/code><\/pre>
\n<\/p>
And there you have it. You have reset your Game Panel login credentials using these three commands! Now you can log in and configure your game servers.<\/p>
\n<\/p>
TightVNC Server<\/h2>
On the SSH terminal once connected to your VPS, enter the following command:<\/p>
\n<\/p>
