### 🔒 Change Your Password

{% hint style="info" %}
Before you start using the bot, it’s <mark style="color:$danger;">**strongly recommended**</mark> to change your default server panel password.
{% endhint %}

1. Go to <mark style="color:purple;">**Settings**</mark> in the left-hand menu.
2. Under <mark style="color:purple;">**Change Password**</mark>, enter your current password and set a new, secure one.
3. Click <mark style="color:purple;">**Change Password**</mark> to confirm.

Keeping your panel secured ensures that only you can access your bot’s dashboard and configuration.
