Changing the root password
Hello,
I have a simple question regarde the root password of my VPS using VestaCP.
If I change my root password using the CLI, does it have an impact on VestaCP?
This question might sound dumb but a professional sysadmin installed VestaCP on my VPS so I don't really know about that issue.
Thank you very much.

Re: Changing the root password
No,
It is safe to change your root password.
As a security best practice, you should disable root & Password login and only allow SSH Keys
