Email is one of the necessary tools for personal and business communication. Having
a strong email password can protect your personal data. You can change your account
password on cPanel in case you have forgotten it or want it to be more secure.

Most of the time Olive & Lake’s team can change your password on your request, but
if you want to do it by yourself, this article will help you.

## 1. Go to cPanel

Your can go to cPanel with the link of your domain followed by “/cpanel”.

can create a [new email account](https://oliveandlake.com/knowledge-base/how-to-create-email-accounts-on-cpanel/)
or change the previous account password.

## 3. Choose an Account

one that you need to change the password. After finding the account, click on “Manage”.

## 4. Change Password

Inside the settings page, you will see a box where you can add a new password.

Here, you can type or generate your new password.

Make sure you save your password somewhere before you update.

Then, you can click on the button “Update Email Settings” and it will save your 
new password.

If you decide to create your own password, it must get a score of at least 65. You
should use a combination of lower case letters, upper case letters, numbers and 
symbols. Do not use words or easy to guess passwords. An example of a good password
is:

**GHd%^&8@sdg~2d**

An example of a poor password is:

**mypassword123**

Also, don’t use the same password more than once. Make sure every email address 
uses a different password.
