Forgot your password?
Or just updating it for security reasons?

Changing your email password in cPanel takes less than 3 minutes.

Let’s go through the steps

Step 1: Log in to cPanel

Login to your cPanel using the login details provided to you by PDHost

Enter:

• Your cPanel username

• Your password

Click Log In

Step 2: Open “Email Accounts”

Once inside cPanel:

1. Scroll down to the Email section

2. Click on Email Accounts

You will now see a list of all email addresses created on your domain.

Step 3: Click “Manage” Next to the Email Address

Find the email account you want to update.

Example:

On the right-hand side, click Manage.

Step 4: Enter a New Password

Under the Security section:

You can either:

• Click Generate (recommended for strong passwords), or

• Type your own secure password

⚠️ Important:
Use a strong password with:

• Uppercase letters

• Lowercase letters

• Numbers

• Symbols

Weak passwords are one of the main reasons email accounts get hacked.

Step 5: Click “Update Email Settings”

After entering the new password:

Scroll down and click Update Email Settings

Your password is now changed.

That’s it.

Important: Update Your Devices

If you access your email through:

• Microsoft Outlook

• Gmail

• Your mobile phone’s Mail app

You MUST update the password there too.

Otherwise, your email will stop sending and receiving.

Go to your email app → Account Settings → Update password.

Common Issues After Changing Password

Email Not Working?

Most likely cause: old password still saved on your device.

Fix:
Remove the account and re-add it with the new password.

Getting Login Failed Errors?

Double-check:

• Correct email address

• No extra spaces

• Caps lock off

When Should You Change Your Password?

• If you suspect hacking

• If emails are being sent without your knowledge

• If you shared login details with someone

• Every 3–6 months for security best practice

Final Advice

Don’t treat your business email casually.

If someone gains access, they can:

• Reset social media accounts

• Access client information

• Damage your reputation

Security is not optional.
