[George]

After changing the password from "cPanel >> Change Password" not allow to login into cPanel with the new password. To resolve "Change Password" feature problem follow the following steps.

First check the permissions on /usr/bin/passwd they should be set at below.

Code:

-r-s--x--x 1 root root 21200 Jun 17 2008 /usr/bin/passwd*

If not then set the correct permission for /usr/bin/passwd* file

chmod u+s /usr/bin/passwd*
