The WordPress dashboard is where you write posts, change the design and install plugins.
Steps
- Go to
https://yourdomain.com/wp-admin(or/wp-login.php). - Enter your Username or Email Address and Password.
- Tick Remember Me on your own computer only, and click Log In.
If you forgot the password, click Lost your password? and enter your username or email; WordPress emails a reset link.
Tip: If you installed WordPress with Softaculous in cPanel, you can also open the dashboard from Softaculous without a password: click the admin icon next to the installation.
