There is a way you can change your password.Tell him to give you username and pw and you change

it from the cpanel.

he did, but he can still reset the password.

1stly, u should have posted this in the Webmasters' section.

2ndly, the only way you can have the privacy you desire is to own your own server, or maybe even datacentre sef

ie, you need to be at the top of the foodchain. As long as your site/server is under a network, the supreme commander of that network has "backdoor access", mostly for security and troubleshooting reasons sha.

If you cant afford to own your own machine, then you need to host with a company you can trust.
