Source Reference: Change the Password for a Web Services Order Using the API  

---

### Prerequisites:
- Have a valid `auth-userid` and `api-key` for authentication.
- Know the `order-id` of the Web Service order whose password you want to change.
- Have a new password string ready.

### Steps:
1) Use the HTTP POST method for the API request.  
2) Include the following parameters in the request URL or body:
   - `auth-userid` (Integer, required): Your authentication user ID.  
   - `api-key` (String, required): Your API key for authentication.  
   - `order-id` (Integer, required): The ID of the Web Service order to update.  
   - `new-passwd` (String, required): The new password you want to set.  
3) Construct the API endpoint URL as follows:  
   ```
   https://test.httpapi.com/api/webservices/change-password.json?auth-userid=YOUR_USERID&amp;api-key=YOUR_APIKEYℴ-id=ORDERID&amp;new-passwd=NEWPASSWORD
   ```  
4) Send the POST request to this URL.  
5) Check the response for a status of `success` to confirm the password was changed.

### Warnings:
- Ensure the new password complies with security policies (not detailed in this article).  
- Keep your `auth-userid` and `api-key` confidential to prevent unauthorized access.

### Summary:
You can change the hosting panel password for a Web Services order by sending a POST request to the API endpoint with the appropriate authentication and order details, including the new password. A successful response will indicate the password has been updated.
