# Changing the VPS Password


||| Important: Your password is your first line of defense so make sure it is a strong one. Use a combination of upper/lower case letters, numbers, and special symbols, and make it at least 10 characters long

Changing your Administrator password on Windows 2022 can be done using various methods, but we have identified two particularly straightforward approaches that we consider the easiest:

1. Method one: Utilizing the **Control Panel**
2. Method two: Via **Ctrl-Alt-End** (on a PC) or **Fn+Control+Option+Delete** (on a Mac)

# Utilizing the Control Panel

1. Log in to the desired server as an administrator.
2. To open Windows Settings, type the word **Settings** in the search bar located on the taskbar. Alternatively, click **Start** > **Settings**.
3. Click **Accounts**.

Shortly after signing up with tradingvps, you are assigned a default password for your server’s administrative account. Follow these steps to change it:

1. Log onto your Server or VPS via Remote Desktop app – the app should be in full screen mode (maximized), not windowed
2. Press **CTRL+ALT+END** (on a PC) or **FN+CONTROL+OPTION+DELETE** (on a Mac)) key combination – PC users note, that’s an **END** not **DEL**
