# How to Log In to cPanel and Change Its Password

**In short:** You open cPanel from the client area without a password: Services → My Services → your hosting → "Log in to cPanel". The same page has "Change Password" for the cPanel password, and "Log in to Webmail" for your email.

**Short video (23 seconds)**

cPanel is your website control panel: files, email, databases, backups and subdomains. The easiest way in is from the client area, which logs you in directly with no username or password.

## Logging in to cPanel

1. Log in to the [client area](https://www.hyyat.com/en/knowledgebase/explain-how-to-enter-the-client-area/) with your email and password, or with the Google account linked to it.
2. Open [Services → My Services](https://www.hyyatdomain.com/clientarea.php?action=services&language=english) and click your hosting plan.
3. In the **Actions** box click **Log in to cPanel**.

The same page shows your account **Hostname**, sometimes needed to set up email or upload files.

## Changing the cPanel password

1. On the hosting page click **Change Password**.
2. Enter and confirm the new password, then click **Save Changes**.

 **Strong password:** avoid your phone number or name; use upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols. cPanel controls your whole site and you are responsible for your account, so never share its password; use [User Management](https://www.hyyat.com/en/knowledgebase/invite-users-client-area/) if someone else needs access.
