You should still know your WordPress password as cPanel VPS administrators can disable this feature in [WebHost Manager (WHM)](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/product-guides/softaculous/disable-softaculous-auto-login/) or [Softaculous](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/product-guides/softaculous/disable-softaculous/) itself.

## Log into WordPress using Softaculous

1. [Log into cPanel](/support/edu/cpanel/access-cpanel-via-whm/) as the user that installed the WordPress website (in Softaculous).
2. In the cPanel search bar, type **soft**.
3. Click on the **Softaculous icon**.
4. In the header, to the right, click on the **All Installations** icon.
5. On the *Scripts Installations* page find the website listed. Click on the icon: to the right of the website you are logging into, under the **Admin** column.

**NOTE:** Since you are [logging into](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/product-guides/softaculous/disable-softaculous-auto-login/) the WordPress dashboard from an authenticated (cPanel) login, you will not be prompted for a password. Instead, you will be automatically authenticated as the WordPress admin user that was created during the initial installation.

**Congratulations!** Now you know another way you can **log into** your **WordPress Administrative Dashboard**, by **using Softaculous**.
