## Getting access to PiKVM
By default, PiKVM receives a dynamic IP address via DHCP. PiKVM V3+ devices shows the IP address on the built-in OLED display.
By default, PiKVM receives a dynamic IP address via DHCP. PiKVM V3+ devices show it on the built-in OLED display.
??? example "PiKVM without OLED: finding device in the network"
To determine the IP address of your PiKVM, use one of the following methods:
* **Common way:** Open the web interface of your router and find the list of issued IP addresses there. It depends on the router model.
* **Common way:** Open the web interface of your router and find the list of issued IP addresses there.
* **Linux-only:** Use command `arp-scan --localnet`.
* **Linux, MacOS, Windows:** Download and run [Angry IP Scanner](https://angryip.org).
* **Windows PowerShell:** Use command `arp -a`.
In order to find PiKVM using the ARP commands, you need to look for the following MAC Address's: `B8:27:EB`, `DC:A6:32` or `E4:5F:01`.
In order to find PiKVM using the ARP commands, you need to look for the following MACs: `B8:27:EB`, `DC:A6:32` or `E4:5F:01`.
For future examples, let's assume that PiKVM has received the address `192.168.0.100`,
which you have successfully detected using the instructions above. The device has also been assigned a hostname `pikvm`.
??? example "Access to PiKVM Web Interface"
In *most* networks you should be able to reach PiKVM via any browser with the URL `https://192.168.0.100/` OR `https://pikvm/`.
Google Chrome (Chromium), Firefox and Safari work best without any extensions enabled, if one works but the other does not,
this might be a browser/extension issue. It is advised you use private window or incognito mode.
Internet Explorer and the pre-Chromium version of Microsoft Edge are not supported.
**The default user is `admin`, the password is also `admin`, and no 2FA code.** After logging in, you will get access to the menu with the main functions. Using the Web Terminal, you can change system settings and passwords.
* **We recommend using the latest Google Chrome or Chromium**, as they support the largest number of PiKVM features.
* Safari and Firefox are in second place.
* Internet Explorer and the pre-Chromium versions of Microsoft Edge are not supported.
*The latest versions of Chrome on Mac OS do not allow access to the page with a self-signed certificate, which is used in PiKVM by default. You can proceed by typing `thisisunsafe` and Chrome will then load the page.*
For the first time, it is better to use a browser without extensions or incognito mode,
as some extensions may disrupt the work of PiKVM.
Type the URL in the browser's address bar and press Enter: `https://192.168.0.100/` or `https://pikvm/`.
**The default user is `admin`, the password is also `admin`, and no 2FA code.**

??? example "Access to PiKVM via SSH"
SSH is the most common remote access method in the Linux world. PiKVM is accessible via SSH. This method is used to manage the device:
* **Linux, MacOS:** Open any terminal application and run: `ssh root@192.168.0.100` or `ssh root@pikvm`.
