In order to login, you would require the login details which can be retrieved via the screen shown:

• Your username is the full email address displayed beside Login, where this ends with onmicrosoft.com.
• Your password can be retrieved by clicking on the Eye symbol, to the right of the Password box.
• This is the initial password used to gain access to the administrative section - you will be asked to change this upon logging in.
• These details should be kept safe, and only supplied to those that should have Administrative rights to the Office 365 system.

Once you have retrieved the password, you can click the Sign In button - this will then direct you to the Office 365 Portal.
