Step 1: Go to the Login URL
By default, the WordPress login page is located at:
yourwebsite.com/wp-admin

instead.
Step 2: Enter Your Login Details
Once the login page loads, you will see a screen with the WordPress logo at the top and two fields:

- Username or Email Address
- Password
- Click here if you forgot you password
Step 3: Click the “Log In” Button
After entering your credentials, click the blue Log In button to Log Into WordPress.
If your details are correct, you’ll be taken directly to the WordPress Dashboard (also called the Admin Area).
