# Login to CloudPanel.

To log in to your CloudPanel account, you will first access your credentials. The CloudPanel login credentials are stored in a file known as***credentials.txt*** in your VPS. To access the file and log in, follow these simple steps:

- Access your VPS via SSH. Use the VPS credentials (`username, password and IP address`) sent to your email. If you're using Windows OS, access your VPS using PuTTY (Windows guide:[https://truehost.com/support/knowledge-base/connect-vps-via-ssh-windows-computer/]( https://truehost.com/support/knowledge-base/connect-vps-via-ssh-windows-computer/) ).
