Let's Log In


Firstly, we need to log in to the TYPO3 back end.

The TYPO3 back end is located in the typo3 folder within our main installation. For those of us who used the Windows installer, our back-end login will be situated at http://localhost/typo3/typo3/.

The default username is typo3, and the default password is also typo3.

If you installed TYPO3 using the 1-2-3 Install tool, the default username is admin and the default password is password. Enter those details into their respective boxes and click on Log In.

Now that we are logged into TYPO3, we need to familiarize our selves with the back end.
