How to get started with the Electronic Controlled Drug Register. This
chapter includes setting up the pharmacy and logging in to
the application for the first time.

Setting up the Pharmacy
-----------------------

On first use of the application, the administrator will be prompted to
enter the pharmacy details. These should be entered carefully, as they
can only be entered once and are not changeable afterwards.

Once entered, the *ok* button should be clicked, and the application will
start as normal, and the user will be prompted to log in.

Logging In
----------

In order to log in, the user will be presented with a login dialogue:

Enter login details, and click the *ok* button.

The initial account is setup for the administrator, with:

=========  =====
Username:  admin
Password:  admin
=========  =====

You have 3 attempts to log in before the application exits.

Pressing the *cancel* button will exit the application.

**The administrator MUST change their password when
first logging in to the system. This is a feature of security.**
