When your VPS is created, your server's 'Administrator' account password is automatically generated and emailed to you. It is also displayed on-screen until you've reloaded the page or navigated away.
It is recommended that you change this password straight away for security reasons. You can do this by pressing the `
` button or via lusrmgr.msc (Local Users and Computers)
If you've lost or forgotten your password for this account, you'll be able to perform a password reset from within the mPanel:
- Log in to your BinaryLane account and navigate to the server you'd like to reset the password for
- Select the settings icon (⚙️) next to your server's name
- Click the ` - Reset password` option
- Within this page, select the button `
`
Once your password has been reset:
- Go to your server's dashboard (default screen)
- Wait for the desktop to appear - if you need to login, use "Administrator" with no password
- Press the `
` button and choose "Change Password" from the dialog that appears - The old password field must be left completely blank (because right now, there is no password)
- Enter your new password
