September 4, 200718 yr My friend just bought an online game recently, when he bought it he changed all password's to cpanel etc, he can no longer access cpanel as the previous owner hacked his cpanel and changed his password.. does anybody know how to regain access to his cpanel? Thanks.
September 4, 200718 yr Author I tried contacting them for my friend, the person he bought it from handed everything over, but i feel he had something in the code that emailed him the cpanel password everytime it was changed, my friend payed money for the website and he now has no access to it whatsoever as the previous owner has changed password's and removed him from admin status, he can still contact hosting but he hasn't had a reply in 2 days from them... any help? Michael.
September 5, 200718 yr As far as I know it'll have to be a hosting issue or a legal issue (i.e. he paid for a product/service and he has been denied access by the person he bought it from). I assume he's tried getting in touch with that person already?
September 5, 200718 yr Author Yes, he has talked with the person he bought it from and he just laughed and said you have no proof you bought it, it was a verbal contract.. so he's pretty much f**cked, Thanks anyway guys Michael.
September 6, 200718 yr Yes. If your friend is the customer now (i.e. control and billing was handed over to him) then the host has a legitimate interest in keeping him/her happy and using their service. Plus, if you mention that their server might have been hacked I'm guessing they'll want to know about that, for their own sake.
