The WordPress dashboard is where you write posts, change the design and install plugins.

Steps

  1. Go to https://yourdomain.com/wp-admin (or /wp-login.php).
  2. Enter your Username or Email Address and Password.
  3. 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.
