Admin E-mail Account hacked !!

[ciaran]

My deflaut admin e-mail account has been hacked for defo , I am quite sure of it and as it is the main e-mial address for the system you cant chanage the password in the driectadmin area , nor can I delet it from there

So how can I delet it from another location or just gain control over it some how ??
Plz help me

as root, type:

passwd admin

so that you can login to DA again.
Once you're in DA, then you can change the admin password to reset the email account pass.

sorry I dont really get ya. I have got acess to my DA but the e-mail has been hacked and password changed. The password for my DA is different to the e-mail.

I dont get the part below

"as root, type:

passwd admin"

maybe you could example it abit more in detail for me thx.

If you click the big password button, resetting your password there will reset your email password as well.

If you have access to DA, don't worry about root ssh logins, it's not needed now that I know you have access to DA.
