# I just installed Portainer but I can't access the UI, how do I fix this?

As a security precaution, when Portainer is first installed it will wait for 5 minutes for an administrator user to be created (part of the initial setup). If a user is not created within those 5 minutes, the Portainer Server will stop listening for requests.

To resolve this, you will need to manually stop and restart the Portainer container.
