First Login

After installation, PNLCS creates a single administrator account so you can get in. Your very first job is to sign in and secure it.

1. Open the admin login

Go to:

https://your-domain/admin/login

Replace your-domain with wherever you installed PNLCS (for a Docker install this is usually http://localhost:8090/admin/login).

2. Sign in with the default credentials

If you installed with the in-app install wizard, you chose your own username and password during setup — use those.

If you installed manually (php artisan db:seed), the default account is:

Field	Value
Username	admin
Password	admin123

Change this immediately

The default admin / admin123 password is public knowledge. Anyone who finds your panel can try it. Change it before you do anything else.

3. Change your password

1. Click your name in the top-right corner → My Account.
2. Open Change Password.
3. Set a long, unique password and save.

4. Turn on two-factor authentication (recommended)

Still under My Account, enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA):

1. Scan the QR code with an authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy, 1Password, etc.).
2. Enter the 6-digit code to confirm.
3. Save your recovery codes somewhere safe.

From now on you'll enter a code from your phone at each login. This protects your billing system even if your password leaks.

What's next

Your account is secure. Now configure the essentials so the panel can send email, take payments and provision hosting:
