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 `_. + +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. -- cgit v1.2.3-24-g4f1b
