To login to your site:

 * 2) Enter a username and password of 'admin' and 'generic'.
 * 3) Make sure to change your password and the admin email address to restrict access to your site. Note: The administrative email address MUST be your Sheridan email address, if you don't have one – wait and change this later when you've figured out what your Sheridan address is.

Using an FTP client of your choosing:


 * 1) SFTP mode (with port 22)
 * 2) Host: phoenix.sheridanc.on.ca
 * 3) Username: ccitxxx (number you've been assigned)

**Changing your Password – Site Security**

//**Update, 2:45pm, Oct 4: When changing your password in CPanel, make sure you wait to see if it processed properly after clicking "change password"!!!**//

//**Also: Wordpress handles its login separately from CPanel, so make sure you're aware of that! (ie. passwords are not shared unless you make them the same!)**//

Our default profiles/sever access is not exactly secure. All students should change their FTP and Cpanel passwords so that their site can only be access by them. In order to change your FTP/Cpanel password:
 * 1) Login to Cpanel
 * 2) Scroll up to the top of the page and select 'change password'
 * 3) Enter your existing password and change it to something secure.

Your new password will now be in effect for Cpanel and FTP access.
