000
hello, I set my password ROOT as:coolR:6/sbin/shutdown now
(R is my dad, (Robert) xD) yes, I confirm: my password ROOT is: "coolR:6/sbin/shutdown now" (with space and command restart) Connection from SSH, FTP, WinSSCP as root = OK. My problem is: WHM always = FAIL Who is the problem?, some "special rows" for password over cPanel / WHM ?? Thanks

    Hey hey! While I don't think it's a good idea to try and use that as a password, I was able to set that up on a cPanel test server and it worked properly. I changed the password on the command line, and then was able to log in to WHM with no issues.

    It's actually technically a good password as far as security is concerned. I would just be wary of copy-pasting that anywhere and accidentally rebooting a machine.

    ...was able to log in to WHM with no issues.

    I would run this command, and then try to log in, and see if that shows any error: tail -f /usr/local/cpanel/logs/error_log

    Unfortunately none of that would be relevant to the login issue. You can always submit a ticket to our team so we can check, but WHM uses the same root password as the operating system, so if it is working for SSH there is not anything that would block it from working in WHM.

    master cPRex what you think if we use characters NOT common as: ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
    maybe break my access to server ? can cPanel / LINUX work with this characters ?

    Hello! I would suggest keeping the password to standard numbers, letters, and characters. I am not sure how it would react if you attempted to set characters like that as a password. The following article may help you.
