# MapTiler Server user interface

This article describes the user interface of the MapTiler Server. After you successfully install  
MapTiler Server on [Linux](https://docs.maptiler.com/guides/on-prem/server/installation/linux/), [Windows](https://docs.maptiler.com/guides/on-prem/server/installation/windows/), or [Mac](https://docs.maptiler.com/guides/on-prem/server/installation/macos/), your server should (by default) be available on the address `http://localhost:3650`. If you open it in a browser, you will see a blank screen with a MapTiler Server logo.

## Signing in to the administration

The administration is available on `http://localhost:3650/admin`. Fill in the password you set during the installation, or which was generated automatically (and which is visible in the terminal window).

## Maps

After you sign in, you will see the landing page with your maps. It is going to be probably blank at first.

Click on the Publish button for each dataset you want to be published.

### Security

On the Security page, you can change your password.

The hash of your password is stored in the config.json file: if you delete it, a new password will be automatically generated for you. 

Another option to change your password is to run it from a command line by appending the --adminPassword suffix.
