Change account password using API

[techwthquestion]

Hello

 

I would like to change cpanel account password using whmcs API. Can you please let me know how can I do it ?

The Update Client API is what you're looking for here. A brief example of this. You will need to tweak it to do what you need

 

<?php
// I store all my own API stuff outside of public_html, change yours as needed
require_once("public_html/init.php");


$command = "updateclient";

//your admin username
$adminuser = "adminusername";

//the affected client id
$values["clientid"] = "1";

$values["status"] = "Active";
$values["password2"] = "newpassword";

$results = localAPI($command,$values,$adminuser);
print_r($results);
?>

Sorry, I missed that you wanted control panel password. This will do that for you.

<?php
// I store all my own API stuff outside of public_html, change yours as needed
require_once("public_html/init.php");


$command = "modulechangepw";

//your admin username
$adminuser = "adminusername";

//the affected service id. Get this by going to WHMCS -> admin-> client -> view services
$values["serviceid"] = "1";


$values["servicepassword"] = "newpassword";

$results = localAPI($command,$values,$adminuser);
print_r($results);
?>
