Your VPS has two separate logins: the root login for the server itself, and your control panel login.
Server root login
After your VPS is built, you’ll get a separate email from our VPS Control Panel with your login details. If it doesn’t arrive, check your spam folder.
Use those details to log in over SSH with the username root, or through the browser console.
Lost the root password?
- Reset it: in the control panel, go to Options → Password and reset it while the server is running. The new password is emailed to you. See Reset the root password.
- After a rebuild: each rebuild emails you new login details. If you add an SSH key during the rebuild, password login is turned off and you log in with your key instead.
Control panel login
You don’t need a separate password to use the panel. Click Open Control Panel on your VPS service page in the Client Area and you’re signed in automatically.
To log in at vps.winternode.com directly instead, click Reset Login Credentials on the same service page. Your panel email and a new password are shown once, so save them before you leave the page. See Open the control panel.
