I've created instructions for myself the next time I encounter cpanel.

rallen@rallen ~ $ cheat cpanel
#SSH'ing into the fucking cpanel
#Figure out combination of 5 usernames and passwords given by client to log in.
#Pray that WHM isn't involved.
#Ignore several ssl warnings and cancel several .htaccess password prompts.
#Call in to enable that shit.
#Wait no less than 15 minutes on hold.
#SSH enabled.
#Create public private key pair.
#Notice the ppk conversion for windows 'devs'. Sigh.
#Copy key pair to ~/.ssh/
#chmod that shit to 600.
#Note for the user name it's not anything the clients given you or what you've named the key. Look in the cpanel for the /home/<user> directory.
ssh -i ~/.ssh/key <user>@<dedicatedip>
