1. Go to the Pod page in the Runpod console and click the **Connect** button for the Pod you want to access.
2. Look for the **Web Terminal** start button.
3. Click **Start**, then open the web terminal.
4. In the terminal, run the following command to get the JupyterLab server token:

   ```bash
   jupyter server list
   ```

You should see output similar to this:

```bash
root@2779b5db68b8:/# jupyter server list
Currently running servers:
http://localhost:8888/?token=ua5nw5fwkdzseqpp5apj :: /
root@2779b5db68b8:/#
```

The token you need is the string of characters that appears after the `=` sign, such as `ua5nw5fwkdzseqpp5apj` in the example above.

Copy this token, return to your JupyterLab login page, and paste it into the **Token** field to sign in.
