Having a strong password is crucial for the security of every account. A good rule to follow is to have a unique password for different accounts (Hosting accounts, Email accounts, FTP accounts, etc.). However, with all these accounts, it is hard to remember all the passwords especially if they are complex. There are times when you might forget what the password for your account is. This is why the password reset feature is important for every website. In this article, we will show you how you can reset your password and how to change it from the hosting control panel.
How to reset your hosting account password?
If you do not remember your hosting account password the first thing you need to do is head to the Awardspace login page. From there click on the “I forgot my password” link as shown on the screenshot.
Once on the lost password page fill the form accordingly:
- Enter your client ID
- Enter the email address associated with your account
- Enter the CAPTCHA code
- Click “Retrieve password Now”
If you have an old account (with username) make sure to select the “Reset password (accounts with Username)” tab.
Once you do that you will receive an email containing a link where you can set a new password for your account. Enter your new password and click “Change my password now”.
As soon as you do that you will see the message “Your password has been successfully changed” and you can proceed to log in to your account.
