    It loads up nice but does not recognize any user names I try

    A freshly installed cPanel would only have root user. Is that what you're trying that doesn't work?

    So you added an account already? Assuming you've not changed the root password since installation, you might double check that you're not copy/pasting the password which might add an extra space and fail when using it to login. Is it an issue if you can't login as root? Sure it is.

    Hi I can login to the root account from the shell, but not cpanel. I tried manually type the password and username to no avail.

    Hi AndyS, Just to make absolutely sure ...... [LIST]
  • You would use your Username:root and its corresponding password to log into your WHM on (this would be the same root/password combination for an SSH shell port 22 connection in a terminal)
  • You would use a Username and password you had created for a web-hosting client account in WHM to log into a cPanel account on

    Oh good! So all you need to do is set a new password for that account.
