# First boot

## Automatic login

Turn on Mago Essential for the first time and wait for the system to boot.

Mago Essential starts and logs in automatically with the default local Windows user named "Admin".

{% hint style="info" %}
The password for the default "**Admin**" user is **`mre`** 
{% endhint %}

After the login, the Configuration Wizard opens automatically.

## Windows settings and updates

Before completing the configuration wizard, make sure you set the correct **language**, **keyboard**, **date and time** according to your preferences via Windows Settings.

Also, make sure all the latest **Windows updates** are installed correctly.

Now you can proceed to [Activation and First Configuration](/mago-essential/setup-guide/activation-and-first-configuration.md)
