You can reset your root password from within HSPC once you install the System Administrator Control Panel application. To install the System Administrator Control Panel:
- Click on the System tab.
- Click on Add Application.
- Check the box next to System Administrator Control Panel.
- Click the Next button.
- Wait for the System Administrator Control Panel to install. This typically takes one minute or less.
- Click on the System tab again to refresh the control panel.
To change the root user password:
- In the Users and Groups section of the control panel, click on Users.
- Click on Root.
- Enter the new password in the two password fields.
- Click on the Update button.
If you are editing your Apache configuration file manually (rather than using HSPC to manage your web sites) remove the System Administrator Control Panel with these steps:
- Click on the System tab.
- Click on All Applications.
- Click on System Administrator Control Panel.
- Click on the Uninstall button.
- A warning message will appear. Click on the OK button.
