# Users

The first thing we need to do of course after setting up your server is setup an admin account. To do this we will use the following code that you can just copy paste. Instead of "admin" you can choose a more complicated name for security purposes.

```bash
docker exec -it synapse register_new_matrix_user \
  -c /data/homeserver.yaml \
  -a -u admin http://localhost:8008
```
