 * Hello folks. Yesterday I installed a fresh wp, but could not access the admin
   panel. When I typed site.com/wp-login.php or /wp-admin the page said that the
   url was wrong so error was like “404 could not find”. I’ve searched for hours
   for solutions and almost every one that I found, suggested that the problem is
   with plugins. Now note that it’s a fresh copy, so I don’t have any plugins installed
   yet, there’s not even a .htaccess file in the file manager. Permission or w/e
   that it’s called is also set to 755. When I installed the wp, it gave me the 
   link to the admin panel, when I pressed it, got 404 error. I also got the e-mail
   with the same link, still it’s 404 error. So can anyone please tell me, how can
   I access the admin panel.
    Thanks in advance.

 * Hi, are you able to provide a link to your site?
 * Additionally, have you tried manually creating the .htaccess file? Manually create
   the .htaccess using the settings at [https://codex.wordpress.org/htaccess#Basic_WP](https://codex.wordpress.org/htaccess#Basic_WP)
   then try to visit your site.com/wp-login.php.

 * Hello Snic560,
 * Sorry for the problem with the login to your WordPress site. If you can provide
   us a URL that you’re using we might be able to provide some answers for you. 
   If you’re getting a 404, then URL used for installing is not pointing to your
   current hosting server or the files are simply not there. How did run the installation?
   If you used the installation based on the WordPress files, then you should have
   used the URL in order to complete the installation. Please double-check the steps
   you used in the installation of WP. If you copied the WordPress files into the
   folder for that URL, then you should be able to pull up the site, at the very
   least. With the domain name, we can at least check to make sure that it is valid
   and recognized on the internet.
 * Please check how your ran your installation and and provide us a little more 
   information so that we can help troubleshoot the problem.
 * Regards,
    Arnel C.
