How to change my VPS password

If you have a windows VPS, you will not be able to reset your password, by design, the system was created to prevent this from happening. It's extremely important that you kepe track of your password. 
However, in the event that you do forget your password you will need to reset the container, and start over from scratch. 

You can log into your VPS control panel, and use the " rebuild " button. Select the operating system you want, and it will rebuild the VPS.
