  51 <h2>Getting  Started</h2>
  52 <h3>Getting to the Login Page</h3>
  53 <p>In your browser's address bar you will  need to enter the location of your OpenEMR installation.  For most  users this address will consist of the name of your server followed  by a forward leaning slash, &quot;openemr&quot; and another forward  leaning slash. This should look like this:</p>
  54 <p>http://MyServerName/openemr/ </p>
  55 <p>Be sure to check with your  Administrator, as the location of your OpenEMR installation may be  different.  As an example the OpenEMR live demo is located at: <a href="http://www.oemr.org/demo/openemr/">http://www.oemr.org/demo/openemr/</a></p>
  56 <p>Once you  have entered the correct  address, you should be presented with the login screen:</p>

  58 <h3>Logging In</h3>
  59 <p>The login screen contains two input  boxes: 'Username' and 'Password'.  The first time you log in to a  fresh installation of OpenEMR you will need to log in as &quot;admin&quot;  with a password of &quot;pass&quot;. Your administrator may provide  with a your own username and password.  ( Note that the OpenEMR login  is case-sensitive.) </p>
  60 <p>You will also be presented with a  drop-down list of possible languages in which you can view OpenEMR.   The default language (English) should already be selected. </p>
  61 <p>Once you have entered the correct  username and password, simply click the 'Login' button or press  'Enter'.</p>
  62 <h3>Changing Passwords</h3>
  63 <p>If this is your first time logging in  to OpenEMR it is recommended that you change your password to  something more secure.  To do this select 'Miscellaneous - Password'  from the navigation list on the left, or simply  'Password' in the  Radio Button navigation scheme.</p>
  64 <img src="processed/002.png" />
  65 <p>This will bring up the “Password  Change” screen.  Enter your new password into the two input boxes,  make sure you type the same thing into each box.  And  remember that OpenEMR's username and passwords are case sensitive!</p>
  66 <p>Once  you've done this, click the 'Save Changes' button.  You will then be  required to login again with your new password.</p>
  67 <p>(  Note: If you are using the OpenEMR demo instance, please do NOT  change the admin password! )</p>
