> Where to log in to your WordPress dashboard, what to do if the login page is missing or changed, and how to log in from cPanel without a password.

## The usual login address

Add `/wp-admin` to your website's address:

```
https://yourdomain.com/wp-admin
```

`https://yourdomain.com/wp-login.php` also works. If WordPress is installed in a folder or subdomain, add `/wp-admin` to that address, for example `https://yourdomain.com/blog/wp-admin` or `https://shop.yourdomain.com/wp-admin`.

## Log in from cPanel (no password needed)

1. Log in to cPanel and open **WordPress Management** (WP Toolkit).
2. Find your site and click **Log in**.

You're logged in to the WordPress dashboard as an administrator. This is handy if you've forgotten your WordPress password. You can also log in from **WordPress Manager by Softaculous** if you installed WordPress with Softaculous.

## The login page shows 404 or redirects to the home page

A security plugin may have changed your login address. Plugins such as **WPS Hide Login**, **iThemes/Solid Security** or **All In One WP Security** let you choose a custom address, such as `/my-login`.

- Check your email for a message from the plugin with the new address.
- Can't find it? In cPanel's File Manager, rename the plugin's folder in `wp-content/plugins/`, for example `wps-hide-login` to `wps-hide-login-off`. The normal `/wp-admin` address works again. Log in, then rename the folder back and check the plugin's settings.

## Other login problems

- **Forgot your password:** click **Lost your password?** on the login page, or log in from cPanel as above. See [Resetting the WordPress administrator password](https://helpcenter.ruachost.com/wordpress/guides/resetting-the-wordpress-administrator-password/).
- **No admin user left:** see [Creating a WordPress admin user using phpMyAdmin](https://helpcenter.ruachost.com/wordpress/guides/creating-wordpress-admin-user-in-mysql-using-phpmyadmin/).
- **The login page reloads without logging you in:** clear your browser cookies and cache. If you recently changed your domain or moved to HTTPS, check **WordPress Address** and **Site Address** match. See [Changing the website URL in WordPress](https://helpcenter.ruachost.com/wordpress/guides/changing-the-website-url-in-wordpress/).
- **403 or "too many requests" after failed logins:** your IP address was blocked for a while. See [Fixing 403 Forbidden errors](https://helpcenter.ruachost.com/getting-started/website-troubleshooting/fixing-403-forbidden-errors/).
