How do I change my VPS password?

You can change your VPS administrator password at any time in the VPS dashboard.

When you order a new Cloud Server, you'll be asked to complete the setup by creating an administrator password.

You can also reset your VPS administrator password by redeploying your server in the VPS dashboard in oneHome. But keep in mind that redeploying a server permanently deletes all data and cannot be undone.

This guide explains how to change your VPS password and how to reset it by redeploying your server.
