The difference between VedaCMS and cPanel

It is important to understand that VedaCMS and your hosting cPanel are two completely separate systems. cPanel is your hosting control panel and is used for managing or monitoring aspects of your hosting account (domain email address, website visitor statistics, file manager, etc). VedaCMS is a website editor and is used for actually updating your web page content.

The systems are completely independent of one another. If you change the password for one, it will NOT be updated in the other system. If you want to change your password for both VedaCMS and your hosting cPanel, you would need to log into each system separately to do so.
