## Setup

When you first open Lyra, you'll be asked to create a password. You will need this password to enter Lyra every time you restart it.

{% hint style="danger" %}
If you lose your password, you will lose access to all private keys and accounts you've added to Lyra. The staff cannot recover that information for you if you lose the password, so make sure to keep it in a safe place.
{% endhint %}

After your password is created, you'll need to enter your license.&#x20;

{% hint style="warning" %}
Every Lyra Desktop license is limited to only run on one computer at once. If you've used Lyra Desktop before on a different computer you will have to use the /reset[^1] discord command in order to be able to login on a different machine.

Also, you can reset your HWID in [your dashboard](https://dashboard.lyrarobotics.io).
