Forgot your WordPress password, or want a faster way in? If WordPress was installed with Softaculous, you can open your WordPress dashboard straight from your control panel, without typing the WordPress password.

Log in from your control panel

Step 1. Log in to cPanel or DirectAdmin.

Step 2. Open Softaculous Apps Installer. If you do not see it, type “Softaculous” in the search box of the control panel.

Search or locate the 'Softaculous App Installer' menu

Step 3. Click Installations.

Navigate to Installations menu

Step 4. Find your site in the list and click Login as admin.

Click on 'login as admin

Your WordPress dashboard opens in a new tab, already logged in.

If your site is not in the list

Softaculous lists only the sites it installed. A WordPress site that was uploaded by hand or moved from another host does not appear there. In that case, use Lost your password? on the WordPress login page, or see WordPress Troubleshooting: Get Back In and Fix Common Problems.
