There should be a login link somewhere on the page.

BTW, there is no such thing as a "backend" in DNN, which makes it quite unique. depending on the permissions, you may edit and update the modules on the page directly.

Happy DNNing!

I could not find login link to the CMS.

We all Know that DNN is a CMS. each CMS must have login. For example wordpress has default

www.example.com/wp-admin

What is my cms link? Even i can not find in db.

Also how i can get username and password?

<code>example.com/login</code> or <code>example.com/?ctl=login</code> should work for a standard login. If those doesn't work, there's something overriding the DNN login logic. You could look at the <code>LoginTabId</code> column in the <code>PortalLocalization</code> table to find the login page (but one of the above methods should have redirected you there, anyway). Hope it helps!

I went to database PortalSettings and updated the setting HideLoginControl to false but still, nothing.

When you change anything in the database (which is not recommended), you have to restart the application pool, otherwise data will come from the cache and will not reflect your changes.

Happy DNNing!
