    How long does it take to change my cPanel password?

    so, I'm new & looking for help.

    there seems to be quite a few user names and passwords to set up at different places for different uses... the forum, cPanel, sitebuilder... that I got very confused. Obviously, I was able to fix my password for the forums, b/c here I am.

    Now, I would love to start building my website, but I can't get into cPanel. I thought maybe I messed up my password, so I signed on to x10hosting.com and went to Account Panel and changed my cPanel password. At the bottom of the page it says:
    " Pending password change requests will be shown below. Do not attempt to use the new password until your request is complete."

    How long should this take?

    I've never done this process myself, I would think it would take at most a few hours. If it doesn't change soon, you can submit a ticket here: http://support.x10hosting.com

    There may be a problem with the password reset system. If your password has not been reset yet, submit a ticket: http://support.x10hosting.com

    Well, I got in today! I never did get an email telling me that my password was reset. It just worked.

    Now, if I can only figure out where my files "live" so that I can link my images in my index.html script.

    all your files should be in the public_html directory.

    This should equate to yoursite.com/file
