cpanel password retrieval

[toggle]

Im implementing a cms that automatically installs when an account is created.
The only problem is i need the cpanel password that gets created at time of creation so i can use it in the script to create the database and users.

Whmcs uses [password] in its emails. is there a way to parse that from whmcs in any way. or any way in php to get the cpanel password?

Cheers

If you have root access to the servers, you can run a script from postwwwacct that does that for you - all the variables are there, though you'll need to check out the info at cpanel.net to find out the exact syntax. Otherwise you should be able to use a WHMCS "Action Hook" to get the result you want.
