<div align=justify>There are cases when you do not remember your password for some FTP account and cannot retrieve in any way. In this case the only way out is to reset the FTP password for the account needed.

How exactly can you do this? You can easily modify FTP password via '''cPanel => FTP Accounts'''.

First, log in to your '''[[cPanel]]''' and look for the 'FTP Accounts' icon under the '''[[Files]]''' section.
The list of FTP accounts you have created will be shown. Next to each FTP account there is the 'Change Password' button. Click on it to change FTP password for the account in question.

You'll get the following window:

There you need to enter your new FTP password ('''Password''' field) and confirm it by re-typing in the '''Password (again):''' field.

Rather than setting new password yourself, you can use the '''Password Generator''' feature. This will create a secure password and protect it from possible cracking.
Once your new FTP password is set, click '''Change Password'''.

Using these steps you cannot only modify FTP password but also create accounts for separate users and change FTP password for their accounts as well.</div>
