  6. If using the "Web Hosting Access" option. Under the System User enter or generate a new password. Click on Ok
  7. If using "Hosting Settings" scroll down the page and look for Webspace settings. Under there you will have a system user's credentials. And it is here that you generate or add a new password. Click Save at the bottom.
