The easiest way to reset your [cloud server](https://hostman.com/cloud-server/)'s root password is through your Hostman dashboard.

> [!NOTE]
> You can also change the password [directly in the server's settings](https://hostman.com/docs/cloud-servers/administration/root-password-reset/) when connected via SSH. Note that in this case the root password you can copy in the dashboard will no longer work.

To reset the root password:

1.  Click on the lock icon on the server's page.

2.  In the popup window click **Change password** to confirm password reset.
    

The new password will be immediately available on the **Dashboard**.

You can also reset the password in the **Access** tab:
