  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.
  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.

Change root server password (NOT admin password)

New Pleskian
Greetings
I want to my server, to change the root password, not just the admin plesk password.
I followed the information here (http://kb.odin.com/en/346) and from the menu in plesk panel and the password in changed OK, but only for the 'admin' user.

The root user, still can login in panel and with ssh with the old password!
I must change the root pass, it is very important!

Can you please anybody show the right way to do this?
I am on CentOS 6.7 with Plesk 12.0.18 Update #66

Thank you for your time and for your support!
 
You have to be able to SSH onto your server as root and then just type passwd

thank you for your answer, but i am not asking how to login to my server

i think you did not understand what i am asking for help...
i have access via ssh to my server, i can login with user root and password

i am asking on how to change root user password to linux, not just to plesk

thank you again
 
Thats how you change the root password in Linux, SSH in as root and type the command passwd and hit enter then enter new password.
