 ### Setup Initial Login User
-> TODO
+When started the for the first time with a fresh database without any superuser configured, a superuser `admin` with password `admin` will be automatically generated.
+Use this user to login for the first time. In the django admin panel you can then either change the password of the `admin` user or create a new superuser with your own username and delete the `admin` user.
+As long as there is at least one superuser configured, no admin user will be regenerated upon startup.
