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.
