# How to change password, space limits, and other options for my email accounts in cPanel?

Below, we will show you how to change the password, space limits, and other options for your email accounts.

There are two ways to access the configuration of your email accounts:

* [Access from the cPanel control panel](change-password-and-other-options.md#access-to-email-accounts-configuration-from-the-cpanel-control-panel)
* [Access from the Customer Area](change-password-and-other-options.md#access-to-email-accounts-configuration-from-the-customer-area)

If your hosting plan uses **Plesk**, you will find its guide at this [link](../../../plesk-control-panel/email-tools-and-options/useful-email-tools-and-options/how-to-change-password-space-limits-and-other-options-for-my-email-accounts-in-plesk.md).

### Access from the cPanel control panel

1. In your browser, enter the following web address:\
   `mydomain.com/cpanel`\
   \
   Alternatively, you can log in with the web address:\
   `cpanel.mydomain.com`

<div data-gb-custom-block data-tag="hint" data-style='info'>

**Access to the control panel without delegated domain:**\
\
The use of email accounts depends heavily on the domain you use being delegated.\
If it is necessary to access the cPanel control panel without a delegated domain, you can use the **IP address** of your server or access it from the **Customer Area**. \
In this same guide, you will see how to access it from the **Customer Area**. \
\
In the **Technical Information** section of your hosting plan, you will find the IP address of your server.\
With this IP, you can access the control panel by typing:\
`IPAddress:2083`
