| How to Reset OpenLiteSpeed WebAdmin Password |
I recently published an article How to Enable Advanced WordFence Protection on OpenLiteSpeed? Finally, I noticed that some users were trying to access OpenLiteSpeed WebAdmin, but they were short of passwords, and I completely missed the instructions for changing passwords.
As I mentioned in the article, I intend to include this. However, as I later realized, it is a common need for many users to reset their OpenLiteSpeed WebAdmin passwords as well.
