You can reset the root or administrator password in the server overview of the respective server. To do this, navigate to the desired Server → Settings → Reset password in the Customer Center.

To reset the password, you must enter the host name in the input field for security reasons and confirm that you wish to reset the password using the SMS-TAN procedure. You can then click on Reset password to create a new password for the root user or administrator.

After resetting the password, you will receive an e-mail with all the important information. If you have saved the password in the password vault, you can also view the new password there.
