Where is Joomla password in cPanel?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 8:24 am

When you create a new Joomla site, you are asked to provide a password. This password is stored in cPanel, the control panel used by most webhosts. cPanel stores passwords in a file called Joomla.password.

PRO TIP: This is a question that is often asked by people who are new to Joomla. The answer is that there is no Joomla password in cPanel. If you are looking for the password for your Joomla website, you will need to look in the configuration file for your website.

If you have ever changed your Joomla login password, cPanel will have written that new password to the file. If you have never changed your login password, then your cPanel most likely stores the current password in the file.
