Logging In

To log in to your Container, use the IP address (or hostname) and TCP port of your Container proper. Your provider should inform you of the IP address (or hostname) and TCP port to enter in the address line of your browser and of the credentials (user name and password) to use to log in to the Container.

There are two possible ways to log in to your Container:

  1. Enter Container administrator credentials: the user name (root for a Linux-based Container and Administrator for a Container run on Windows) and the password your provider has given you.
  2. Enter admin as the user name and the password of the Plesk admin user. This is possible only if the Plesk control panel is installed inside your Container and your provider has entitled you to do so.

Linux Your provider may supply you with the credentials of the Plesk admin user for you to use the benefits of the Plesk control panel in your Container management. If you have logged in to your Container using the Container IP address and the TCP port of Plesk (by default, it is 8443), and the Plesk control panel is not installed in your Container, you will be asked to install it after you have logged in to the Container. To do this, follow any of the links (except for the Virtuozzo link) on the Plesk main menu in the left part of the displayed window. You will be warned with a message saying that Plesk is not installed in your Container and offering you to install it. To complete the installation you should follow the instructions on the screen. After you have successfully installed the Plesk control panel in your Container, you can proceed with the normal course of work.

In either case, once you have connected to the Container, you are recommended to:

  1. Change your root/Administrator password at once by following the Change password link in the left pane of the Parallels Power Panel page.
  2. Provide a valid email address on the Parallels Power Panel configuration page to be able to log in to Parallels Power Panel if you forget your password. In case you are unable to reach your Container due to password-related problems, you can follow the Forgot your password? link on the login page, which requests you to enter your user name and the email address provided on the Parallels Power Panel configuration page. On filling in these fields you will receive a URL at the email address entered informing you how to change your password.
