How to recover access to your DirectAdmin account

Recover hosting-panel access without confusing it with a client portal or email password.

What to do

  1. Use the DirectAdmin URL from your hosting welcome message and confirm you are using the hosting username.
  2. If the login page offers a password-recovery option, follow it using the account email. Availability depends on the server configuration.
  3. If no recovery option is available, sign in to your client portal and open a support ticket naming the hosting service.
  4. Complete any ownership verification we request before access is restored.
  5. Once recovered, save a unique password and test your hosting login. Update any application using the old credentials.

Check the result

Confirm you can access the correct hosting account and domain. A client portal password reset does not reset DirectAdmin.

If you need a hand

Use client support. If you cannot access the client portal either, use the website contact page and explain that both accounts need recovery. Never send passwords in the request.
