In the [Install Discourse on Ubuntu or Debian for Development](https://meta.discourse.org/t/beginners-guide-to-install-discourse-on-ubuntu-for-development/14727) topic, an admin user should be created by following the step in the Create New Admin section. From your `discourse` directory run:

```plaintext
RAILS_ENV=development bundle exec rake admin:create

```

That command will open a prompt that asks for details about the account you are creating. Make sure to enter `Y` when it asks if you want to grant admin privileges to the account. Once that has been done, you should be able to login with your new admin account.
