<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

If you installed an application through Softaculous and no longer remember the admin password, you can reset it directly from cPanel. This method works for many applications installed by Softaculous, such as content management systems and other web apps managed through the installer.<\/p>\r\n

Instead of recovering the password from email or the application database, Softaculous allows you to update the admin login details from the installation settings.<\/p>\r\n
