Launching and logging in to the SilverStripe CMS

To access the SilverStripe CMS, you will need a username and password. If you don't have login details, contact the person or organisation who created your website.

  1. Open your web browser. We recommend using the latest version of your browser (Internet Explorer 7, Firefox 3) for the best experience.
  2. Type in your website address, followed by "/admin", e.g., http://www.yoursite.com/admin.

  3. Hit Enter or click Go on your browser. This takes you to the Login page.

  4. Enter your email address and password, then click the Log in button. This takes you to the CMS main screen.

 

  • If you select Remember me next time?, the login fields will prepopulate the next time you log into the CMS. Only use this option on a computer where you alone have access.
  • If you can't remember your password, click on I've lost my password. You'll be asked to enter your email address and will receive an email with a link that allows you to reset your password.
  • If you are managing other CMS users and want to reset a password for somebody else, refer to Adding A Member To A Group.
