How to log into Plesk

Question

How to log into Plesk?

Answer

Login to Plesk with password.

You must have already configured password or password provided by server's administrator or Hosting Provider. There are two ways to connect to Plesk:

1. Secure Login Page.

   Login to Plesk via https (secure connection) using port 8443, for example:

   CONFIG_TEXT: https://203.0.113.2:8443

2. Non-secure Login Page :

   Login to Plesk via http (non-secure connection) using port 8880, for example:

   CONFIG_TEXT: http://203.0.113.2:8880

Note: In both cases IP address can be replaced with the hostname.
To be able to access Plesk using the hostname, it should meet fully qualified domain name (FQDN) requirements. The hostname in URL should have a valid DNS record to be resolved to a public IP address of Plesk server. On Plesk for Windows hostname can be replaced with localhost when accessing Plesk directly from the server(i.e. https://localhost:8443 or http://localhost:8880)

On the Login Page use the admin username and the corresponding password.

Login to Plesk without password on Plesk Onyx.

This way may be preferred for server owners or who just installed Plesk.

1. Connect to the server via SSH or RDP.

2. Generate session login link, it will have server's hostname in the URL:

   # plesk login
   https://hostname:8443/login?secret=***

   C:\> plesk login

3. Replace hostname with public IP (203.0.113.2) of the instance in the generated session link, it should look like the following one: 

   CONFIG_TEXT: https://203.0.113.2:8443/login?secret=***

   If you don't know the password and have no SSH/RDP access, contact server's administrator or hosting provider.
