cPanel password not updated

[themonex]

Hey
I have tried updating my cPanel password by using this guide http://x10hosting.com/wiki/How_to_Change_Your_cPanel_Password, but it only change the other passwords.
What could the problem be?
Another question, how do I change the ftp password?

Hello,

The FTP password would be changed with your cPanel password. Other FTP accounts can be changed from cPanel.
It can take a bit longer for cPanel changes to go through as it's a different system to the account panel etc. Give it a couple of hours and see if it changes.

Thanks.

Hello,

Please log into the account panel, click "Hosting" in the header bar, then click the "Login to cPanel" button.

Thanks.

It fails to login, but I can login with the old password

Hmm. Try going through the change process again. Remember maximum 8 characters alphanumeric.

ahh, I have used a 10 char. password, I try change to a 8 char.
Thanks

Actually, it's usernames that are 8 characters, not passwords. Sorry about the confusion.
Even so, try changing it again.

It still haven't changed

I have tried updating the password for the third time at least, but still no luck... I think there is some kind of bug. What can I do?

Do somebody know another way to change the password, a script, config file, or backdoor to cpanel?
