Logging In To Plesk for the First Time

Once Plesk is installed, you need to do a little bit of setting up
on the Plesk Welcome Screen before you can get to work
(see the screenshot below). The following instruction describes the
process.

To log in to Plesk for the first time:

1. Open the following URL in your browser:

   https://<SERVER_HOSTNAME_OR_IP_ADDRESS>
   

2. You are on the Plesk login page.
   When logging in for the first time, provide the system’s power user name and password:

   • (On Linux) root and your server root password
   • (On Windows) Administrator and your server administrator password
   

3. Provide your Plesk administrator email and password in the corresponding fields.
   Next time you log in to Plesk, use this password and the admin username.

   To do so, provide your account’s email address.
   Then next time you will be logged in to Plesk right away with the linked account.
   You can also link an account
   at any time later in Plesk My Profile.
