    Okay I just purchased a new dedicated server, got a few details but I don't know how to access it. All I received was the root IP and the server hostname and additional ip's and a password. What do I do to access the dedicated server now. By the way the server runs lxadmin if that helps. Please let me know, this is urgent. :)

    Download this software to get into your server for uploading and get familiar with files inside before moving or editing anything. www.winscp.net

    Introduce your server IP, username (root) and password for such task.

    About LxAdmin, you should be provided with the address to access the browser's inerface, usually https://hostname.domainname.lxadmin-name-asigned. otherwise https://your-ip-number:7777 or https://your-ip-number:7778

    From Lxadmin is easier managing your server is easier as you will find a user-friendly interface.

    ok, it's a linux server and if you don't even know how to login ssh, you should not manage a server. Lxadmin is not enough for server management. If you are building your business on it, I would advice you rent an admin to manage it for you. Otherwise, you will face to trouble.

    Spend your time to what you are familiar to boost your business :)

    Okay finally got access to it but now have a new problem. LXadmin freezes everytime I try to change the admin password and it forces me to change the password and I can't do anything else. Everytime I attempt to change it, it freezes.

    This is how servers get rooted and put in botnets.
