# Generate admin credentials

> This page explains the steps needed to set up Databunker Pro for the first time.

## Before you start

To complete this guide, you'll need:

* Databunker Pro installed
* *(Optional)* A Databunker Pro License Key.

<Note>
  Automating your deployment? You can complete this setup over the API without a browser — see [Unattended installation](/pro/installation/unattended-installation).
</Note>

## Copy the generated access code from the logs

When Databunker Pro starts for the first time, it generates a six-digit access code and outputs it to the service logs.

For example, if you deployed Databunker Pro on Kubernetes, you can print the access code with the following command line:

```sh theme={null}
kubectl logs deployment/databunkerpro | grep "Access code"
```

## Complete the setup in your browser

To complete the setup, you'll need access to the Databunker Pro web interface from your browser.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the web interface in your browser">
    By default, the web interface is exposed on port 3000.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Submit access code and license key">
