      It's a good idea to bookmark this page in your browser. Some themes include a login link – often in the footer area – but even without a bookmark or a link, you always have this fallback: add /wp-admin to the end of your site URL, like this:

      http://yourdomainname.com/wp-admin

      This takes you to your login screen. Of course if you installed WordPress in a subdirectory, you'll add /wp-admin at the end of that subdirectory URL.

      Logging in is a matter of entering the username and password you chose during the installation process. If you forget or can't find your password, there's a link on the login page for setting a new password, as shown in Figure 4.1 B. You can use either your e-mail address (the one given during installation) or your username to set a new password. In either case, the instructions for setting the new password are sent to that e-mail address, so always make sure it's a functioning address. In Lesson 5, “Basic Admin Settings,” you learn how to keep your e-mail address up to date through your Profile.
