Directadmin default username/password

[stupidrobothost]

Hello

I recently installed direct-admin on my vps.
But where do I find my user name & password.

Installation went properly & I can access the proper port.

it should have been in the output at the end of the installation

If you forgot your password or missed it, login as root and change the password for the user 'admin'

passwd admin

OK i did that just now.

When I go to my DA login page.
I put the admin & my password.
But the screen continues to stay on the logon page.

Does not say invalid username/password.

Any ideas?

you were probably black listed from your server from all the failed login attempts.

ssh into your server and go to /usr/local/directadmin/data/admin

edit the file ip_blacklist

and remove your ip from that file.

Look at the directadmin log and see what it says.

If you still see the login screen the session file is not being written, or you have cookies turned off, or you are using a proxy.

so you don't know what your password is?
try this:

passwd admin

and then go to http://your ip:2222 and login...
