Quick WHM/cPanel All email passwords reset

You generally don’t want to use this script. This is a last resort, when all mailbox passwords for the entire account need to be changed. For this script to work, you need root access to your WHM/cPanel server. This could ruin everything, be warned!

Here be dragons!

#!/bin/bash newpass='SomeStr0ngPasswordGoesHere!' accountname='example' domainname='example.com' uapi --user=$accountname Email list_pops \ | grep email \ | awk '{print$2}' | awk -F\@ '{print$1}' | \ while read m; do echo changing password for $m uapi --user=@accountname Email passwd_pop domain=$domainname email=$m password=$newpass done echo done 

Here are the links to the official API docs:

• https://documentation.cpanel.net/display/DD/UAPI+Functions+-+Email%3A%3Apasswd\_pop
• https://documentation.cpanel.net/display/DD/UAPI+Functions+-+Email%3A%3Alist\_pops

Is there a better way to do this? probably

Can I randomize the password? sure, but how will you send the new passwords to your users?

Hope it helps!
