You are now ready to start creating an umbraco website!
As you have experienced, installing all the pre-requisite software (.NET 2.0, IIS, SQL Server, and various supporting tools) can be a time-consuming task. In a production environment, your IT staff or ISP would have performed most of these steps for you. Installing umbraco for use with existing servers is much quicker.
From now on everything you need to do with umbraco can be done entirely through the web interface.

Please note that if you now browse to http://localhost/, you will see an alert page because, "your website doesn't contain any published content yet."

Log in to the umbraco interface

1. Using Internet Explorer (6.0 or higher), navigate to http://localhost/umbraco.
2. The username is admin.
3. The password is that which you entered when you set up umbraco from your web browser, above.
4. Once you have logged in, you will see the full umbraco interface.

You may wish to follow the links to Browse Starter Kits, above, to install a sample site using the WebSiteWizard or Blog package (more packages are being developed).
Or, if you will be attending umbraco training, leave the site empty until the course begins.
