# How do I log in to OpenProject?

https://www.seturack.com/en/knowledgebase/article/how-to-log-in-to-openproject

1. In the panel, open **My servers** and click your server.
2. On the **Overview** tab, wait for the **App** row to say "OpenProject is ready". The first OpenProject install takes a long time. The page refreshes itself.
3. Click **Open app**.
4. Enter the details from the **Login** and **Password** rows. The login is `admin`. There is no prompt to change the password.
5. In your profile, update your email address. The administrator's email is a placeholder after the install.

Further down the page, the **Username** row and the **Password** row below it are for SSH. Don't use them to log in to OpenProject.

## Good to know

- The interface starts in Turkish. The database and cache run inside the same container.
- OpenProject doesn't send email yet. For notifications, set up an SMTP server under **Administration > Emails and notifications**.
- The site opens over HTTPS on a free `sslip.io` address based on your IP. If a certificate can't be issued, it opens over `http://` instead. Only ports 80, 443 and 22 (for SSH) are open to the outside.

**No server yet?** [Order a server with OpenProject installed](https://www.seturack.com/en/openproject-vps): you choose the size and pay for what you choose.
