How to Find Your Website's Login and Admin Page
Find out which platform your website runs on, where to log in, and how to get back in when nobody remembers the password.
Quick answer
Most company websites run on WordPress: add /wp-admin to the address, for example yourdomain.fi/wp-admin. Other platforms sign in on their own sites. If you are not sure which platform you have, use a tool such as Wappalyzer or BuiltWith.
Step by step
1. Find out the platform
Run the address through Wappalyzer or BuiltWith. You can also view the page source and look for wp-content (WordPress) or the names Wix, Squarespace or Shopify.
2. Try the login address
WordPress: yourdomain.fi/wp-admin. Squarespace: yourdomain.fi/config. Shopify: yourstore.myshopify.com/admin. Wix: sign in on wix.com.
3. Reset the password
On WordPress choose Lost your password. The form accepts the username or the email, and the link goes to the email on the user account.
4. Check the users
In WordPress open Users and check who has the Administrator role. Keep at least two administrators with company emails.
5. Find the hosting
The hosting control panel is where you can fix access if the admin email no longer works. Find the host from the name servers and IP address.
Good to know
Lost the admin email
Your hosting provider can usually restore access or add a new administrator. Be ready to show that you represent the company.
Do not share one admin login
Create a separate user for each person. When a login must be shared, send it as a one-time encrypted link, not by email or chat.
Keep this knowledge in the company, not in one person's head
Checking once is not enough. The next time a person or a role changes, the answers disappear again unless the company keeps them somewhere shared. The Vault in Target is built for exactly this.
Record the owner and who has access
For each service, the Vault stores the login together with whose name the account is in and who has been given access, such as agencies, freelancers and colleagues.
See what needs attention
The Vault flags accounts that are not in the company's name or that are about to renew, and a checklist shows which essential services the company still has no record of.
The knowledge stays when people change
Logins belong to the company, not to a person. Access is controlled by role, every reveal is logged, and a new colleague gets the full picture on day one.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know if my website runs on WordPress?
Add /wp-admin to the address. If a WordPress login page opens, it is WordPress. Tools like Wappalyzer give the same answer.
Who owns the website?
Check three things separately: the domain holder, the hosting account and the user accounts on the site. Agencies often hold one of them.
