Hi @SherrieS,

Can you share a screenshot of what you are missing? If you are looking for Admin URL then it must be your website name followed by '/admin'. If that not the correct URL you need to connect with your developer who has setup the Magento for you. During the installation we need to provide the admin login URL, username & Password.

Hi Tarandeep,

(love the name !)

What I had done was add an "s" to the this

• In the Base URL field, change “http//:” into “https//:”.

and there wasn't an admin to sign in, it was gone. It wasn't just a blank page, at the top it said Failed to open page. 

I resolved that by reloading the program as I only had it installed for a couple of days...

The original problem was that I need to have the SSL working. When I log in there is a read message saying that "Website is not secure" how do I need to correct this?

Thank you for your time.

BTW Tarandeep means Ray of Hope.

Recommendation: If you are not technical enough take help from your hosting provider and they would be able to help you. I am still not sure where you are seeing the issue. In browser address bar or on Magento admin dashboard. However, if you want to have an SSL certificate install you need to purchase one and get it installed on the server. Once the SSL certificate is installed then you can update the URL  from HTTP to HTTPS.

Hope this will help!
