# How to Activate a Vultr Sub-Account

Activating a Vultr Sub-Account allows you to change the account password, deploy, and manage Vultr Cloud resources. To activate a new Vultr Sub-Account associated with your main account, ensure that the Sub-Account has been created and is marked as inactive in your parent account, then open the invitation email in your inbox.

Follow this guide to activate a Vultr Sub-Account by completing the account activation process using the Vultr Console.

1. Open the **Welcome to Vultr.com** verification email in your inbox.
