Help with WHM cPanel username/password.
I deployed a cPanel script for my Linode, however I'm unable to work out the username to login. I remember the root password I had specified but not sure of the username. Last time I created a Linode I was able to pull it off.
Please help me with the logins/password for WHM and cPanel.

The root
user is reserved for WHM, which is used to administer the server and manage cPanel accounts. Therefore your Linode’s root password is also your WHM root password — it’s the same root user. If needed you can reset this password from the Linode Manager.
To find a cPanel username that you don't remember, login to WHM and navigate Home > Account Information > List Accounts
. Alternatively you could quickly dump the usernames with an SSH one-liner.
ssh root@<IPADDRESS> "cd /var/cpanel/users; ls"
system
user1
user2
user3
