Usually, you'll need the passwords of each cPanel account (unless he has root access with his current host which I highly doubt). Roj

Oh. I'm sorry I mis-read the question. Just copy the account from another server with password. Look in the Transfers section of the left-side menu for the link Copy an account from another server with account password Follow instructions and you should be golden. Cheers, Roj

Alternatively you can do it a slower way (which I doubt you want) and thats by sshing into the box and typing "/scripts/pkgacct usernamehere" and then wgeting the files over and then extracting via the WHM Restore backup function.

You can contact your host then, I suppose. Thanks,
