# First login

> Sign in and get oriented on your first day in LedgerTime.

By the end of this page you will be signed in at [app.ledgertime.io](https://app.ledgertime.io) and know where to go next.

## Before you start

You need either:

* An **invite** from your org admin (email + temporary password), or
* A **self-serve signup** completed by your firm during onboarding

## Sign in

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the app">
    Go to [app.ledgertime.io](https://app.ledgertime.io).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter email and password">
    Use the credentials your admin shared. Change your password after first login if your org requires it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Land on Dashboard">
    You should see a summary of your week and shortcuts that match your [role](/getting-started/roles).

## Forgot password?

Password reset is handled by your **org admin** (they can set a new initial password on Team). Contact them if you are locked out.

## Org admin checklist (first week)

If you own the org, do this once:

1. [Invite consultants and approvers](/admin/invite-team)
2. [Add clients and projects](/admin/clients-and-projects)
3. Ask consultants to [fill and submit a timesheet](/consultants/fill-and-submit)

<Tip>
  Optional: connect [QuickBooks, Wave, or ADP](/integrations/overview) after the core time → invoice loop works.
