Overview
After creating your DreamPress site, your site is configured in the DreamPress panel. Your site is automatically set up with the following usernames and password.
- FTP user/pass — You use these credentials to log into your web server to edit your files
- Admin dashboard user/pass — You use these credentials to log into your WordPress dashboard to build your site
Please note that the Admin username and password is not emailed to you. You have two options to log into your WordPress admin dashboard.
- Click the Manage WordPress button in the DreamPress panel to automatically log in
- Reset the password so you can log in directly at your website (example.com/wp-login.php)
This article explains how to reset your password so you can log in directly at your website.

As stated above, the admin password is not emailed to you. Use the following steps to reset it.
- Visit the Managed WordPress page in your panel.
