Update first_steps.md (#1412)
* Update first_steps.md I don't think the "Log into the dashboard with an existing user" section is necessary in the First Steps, since the user is already logged in after creating an administrator and there are no other existing users. It might confuse people thinking that they're missing something, when they're already logged in. I'd suggest cutting this section (is "logging into the dashboard" covered anywhere else?) and skip right to "Initial Settings". When I try to space out the images, some of them disappear in the preview. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. * Update first_steps.md Updated to put each sentence on a separate line. I also rewrote the "Log into the dashboard" section to simplify it for new users, while keeping the note that additional users can only be created via the console.

|
||||
By default, the administration pages can only be accessed if you are logged in with an administrator account.
|
||||
Since there are no users yet, openHAB will ask you to create an administrator account.
|
||||
The following screen should appear:
|

|

|

|

After creating a first admin user you will be guided trough a first time setup wizard.
|
||||
### Add geographic information
|
||||
|
||||
You have to add some geographical information and start (or skip) the setup wizard.
|
||||
After creating an admin user, you will be guided through a first-time setup wizard.
|
||||
Start by setting your language, region, and time zone. You can also set your location, or skip this step and complete it later.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
You have the ability to install some addons if you already know that you will need them later.
|
||||
### Install add-ons
|
||||
|
||||
You now have the option to install openHAB add-ons.
|
||||
Do this if you already know that you'll need specific add-ons (e.g. if you're upgrading from an older openHAB system), or skip this step if you prefer to install add-ons individually.
|
||||
You can always install/remove add-ons in the future, enabling you to modify and improve your system over time.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
After finishing the wizard you will get a welcome message and be redirected to your dashboard.

### Log in into dashboard with an existing user
|

### Log into the dashboard
|
||||
|
||||
To log in with an existing user you can do the following.
|
||||
Click on the shield icon in the lower-left corner of the sidebar:
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
If you don't see it, click on the menu icon  located at the top-left corner to reveal the sidebar.
|
||||
Once you have successfully created the admin account, you will be taken back to the previous screen, except the Administration area will now be accessible in the sidebar:
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
You'll be automatically logged into your dashboard using your administrator when the setup wizard is completed.
|
||||
openHAB doesn't require you to sign in, but you can only access the settings if you're logged in as an administrator.
|
||||
|
||||
Currently the only way to add additional users or manage existing ones (including changing passwords and attributing roles) is with the [Console]({{base}}/administration/console.html).
|
||||
|
||||
If you need to sign out, or check what sessions are open with this account with the option to terminate them, click on the account option which has replaced the "Unlock administration" shield:
|
||||
## Modify Settings
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
You already completed the required steps of choosing your language, region, and time zone in the setup wizard, and are now logged in as an administrator.
|
||||
If you didn't add a geographic location during setup, you can do so via the Settings.
|
||||
You can also set your preferred measurement system (openHAB defaults to the Metric system).
|
||||
|
||||
Note that by default, using openHAB doesn't require you to sign in.
|
||||
Only administrative operations require a user with an administrator role to be logged in.
|
||||
|
||||
## Initial Settings
|
||||
|
||||
Most of the needed settings have already been accomplished, when you have followed the wizard.
|
||||
For further configuration (e.g. the measurement system) click on Settings.
|
||||
### Set your geographic location (latitude and longitude) and measurement system
|
||||
|
||||
1. In the left-hand menu under Administration, select Settings to open the Settings page.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Click on Regional Settings under System Services.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Under System Settings, select Regional Settings.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
If you're not using the metric system, click "Show advanced" and change the measurement system.
|
||||
3. Under Location, click the Map button to add your geographic coordinates.
|
||||
|
||||
4. If you also want to set your measurement system, click "Show advanced" and choose between Metric and Imperial.
