Logging in to WordPress via Softaculous

In this article, we explain how you can log in to your WordPress environment via Softaculous. This is an automatic way of logging in where you do not need to enter a username or password. It is also only possible with DirectAdmin access. This can be useful if, for example, you have forgotten your password, or you manage multiple WordPress websites (as a reseller) and want to be able to log in quickly from DirectAdmin.

Logging in via Softaculous

1. First, you need to log in to your DirectAdmin environment. See also: How do I log in to DirectAdmin?

3. You will now enter the Softaculous WordPress management environment. Scroll down so that you have the Current Installations table in front of you.
   

   

4. On the right you will see a number of options, click on the WordPress logo here.
   

   

5. You will now arrive at the WordPress management page. On this page, click the blue Login button to log in automatically.
