What is the postmaster account?
Each company account created with HyperOffice includes a postmaster account. This account includes all the administrator information entered at sign up. The person who signed up for a trial account with HyperOffice will be set as the administrator and the postmaster of the company account.
Note: We do not charge for the postmaster account. This account cannot be deleted as it is used by our system for email processing. It is also the only account from which you can grant a user the level 1 administrator privilege. This account can be used as the ultimate administration account for your company portal with HyperOffice.
Note: The postmaster account uses the same password as the administrator account you registered at sign up; however, if you choose to change the administrator account password, the postmaster account will retain the original password.

We do not allow for a username to be changed; instead please create a new user account, copy all the data in the new account then delete the old one.
Note: Please note the only usernames you cannot delete are the postmaster account and the admin account you created at sign up.
