+Creating an Account
+###################
+
+If you want to use a particular installation of Bugzilla, first you need to
+create an account. Ask the administrator responsible for your installation
+for the URL you should use to access it. If you're test-driving Bugzilla,
+you can use one of the installations on
+`Landfill <http://landfill.bugzilla.org/>`_.
+
+The process of creating an account is similar to many other websites.
+
+#. On the home page, click the :guilabel:`New Account` link in the header.
+   Enter your email address, then click the ``Send``
+   button.
+
+   .. note:: If the :guilabel:`New Account` link is not available, this means that the
+      administrator of the installation has disabled self-registration.
+      Speak to the administrator to find out how to get an account.
+
+#. Within moments, you should
+   receive an email to the address you provided, which contains your
+   login name (generally the same as the email address), and a URL to
+   click to confirm your registration.
+
+#. Once you confirm your registration, Bugzilla will ask you your real name
+   (optional, but recommended) and ask you to choose a password. Depending
+   on how your Bugzilla is configured, there may be minimum complexity
+   requirements for the password.
+
+#. Now all you need to do is to click the :guilabel:`Log In`
+   link in the header or footer,
+   enter your email address and the password you just chose into the
+   login form, and click the :guilabel:`Log in` button.
+
+You are now logged in. Bugzilla uses cookies to remember you are
+logged in, so, unless you have cookies disabled or your IP address changes,
+you should not have to log in again during your session.
