I just wanted to know whether CPanel/WHM sets a default username and password when it's first installed. I had it installed on my Kingcomp box yesterday but the tech that installed it never sent me any login information, so I'm locked out of my own server and 17 sites are offline because of it.

I do have root access to shell, but I couldn't find anything in the CPanel documentation about setting the login information via shell.

Try using the same username and password that you use for shell root.

I did, was a no go :(

Guess I'm locked out till they respond to my email...

https://server.ip:2087/
username: root
password: <your root password>

or
login to the server via ssh
su -
passwd
change root password

try again

https://server.ip:2087/
username: root
password: <your root password>
