    When you SSH the server is it reachable, I mean is it asking for the password? Is it a dedicated server or VPS?

    I assume you still have the root user password, as you mentioned before issue caused you had access to WHM. In that case, you can ask your server provider to give you IPMI or KVM access using which you can try to login using the root user.

    If through IPMI or KVM you still get an error for the root user password then you'll have to ask the server provider to reset the root user password. If you are able to log in using the root user with IPMI or KVM then you can directly reset your linux user password yourself

    Just to clarify, if you can't access the root user even over SSH, there isn't anything cPanel can do to help as that is a deeper issue than the cPanel tools. You'll have to reach out to the host to get that access or have them provide console access so you can reset the password.
