# How to log into your osCommerce Admin dashboard

In order to manage your osCommerce store you will need to know how to log into the administrative dashboard. Below is a quick tutorial that demonstrates how to locate and log into your admin dashbord for osCommerce.

## Logging into your osCommerce admin dashboard

1. Visit your Admin URL. Your admin URL for osCommerce is accessed by simply adding */admin* to the end of the default web address. In our example below, you can see our default domain name is *https://oscommerce.inmotiontesting.com* To access the admin area, we type in *[https://oscommerce.inmotiontesting.com/admin](https://oscommerce.inmotiontesting.com/admin)*[![main site url](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/oscommerce_login_visit-site-1024x623.png)](/support/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/oscommerce_login_visit-site.png)
2. You will be brought to a login screen. Here you will need to enter your administrative user name and password in the **Username** and **Password** fields, respectively.[![admin dashboard login screen](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/oscommerce_login_admin-login.png)](/support/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/oscommerce_login_admin-login.png)
