Change your aaPanel login password under Settings → Global → Panel password → Modify. This changes the panel account password, not your VPS SSH password or a website database password.
Before you begin
Keep working SSH access and your server provider’s recovery console available. Save the full panel address privately, including its port and security entrance. Use a password manager to generate and store a long, unique password. Do not reuse your forum, email or SSH password.
1. Open the password settings
Log in to your panel, open Settings and select Global. Find Panel password under Authentication & Security, then click Modify. You can use Search settings to locate it.
2. Complete the change-password form
The current aaPanel Free Edition 8.0.6 form has three fields: Old Password, New Password and Repeat. Enter your current panel password, your chosen new password and the same new password again. Check that the confirmation matches before clicking Confirm. The screenshot below has its values hidden.

3. Verify the new login
After the panel reports success, open its saved HTTPS address in a separate private browser window and sign in using the new password. Retain recovery access until this fresh login works. Update the password-manager entry and close any session you no longer need.
Forgot the current password?
The normal form requires the old password. If you own the server and have authorized root SSH access, aaPanel’s official Quick Start documents as the password-reset command. Follow the interactive prompt privately, then test the panel login. Never paste the resulting password or complete panel login output into a forum post.
Common problems
If Old Password is rejected, check that you are entering the panel password rather than the Linux root password. If Repeat does not match, re-enter both new-password fields. If the page returns 404 before a login form appears, verify the saved security entrance; that is a different problem from an incorrect password.
Verification note
The settings route and three-field form were inspected on our Ubuntu 22.04.5 / aaPanel Free 8.0.6 lab on 10 October 2026. We cancelled the form to preserve the tutorial lab login; a completed password change is not claimed.
