Admin Control Panel
Gcore’s Admin Control Panel lets you connect to your instance via the Console. To do so, click on the desired instance, and in the next window, click “Access to Console.” The system will then ask you to enter your username and password.
The location of the username and password depends on the instance’s OS. For Linux instances, the login is located to the right of the “Access to Console” button and is usually the name of the OS.
The password is entered during the instance creation when you fill in the user data in the “Additional features.” For Windows instances, the login for all instances is “Admin,” and the password is entered in the “Access” field when creating the instance.
