+## Can't access initial setup flow during installation steps
+
+If you're unable to access the initial setup flow (`/if/flow/initial-setup/`) immediately after installing authentik, first try restarting the containers because this often resolves temporary issues.
+
+However, if the issue persists after restarting, you can directly set the admin password using the following commands:
+
+Docker Compose deployments:
+
+    ```bash
+    docker compose exec server ak changepassword akadmin
+    ```
+
+Kubernetes deployments:
+
+    ```bash
+    kubectl exec -it deployment/authentik-server -c server -- ak changepassword akadmin
+    ```
+
+After following the prompts to set a new password, you can then login via: `https://authentik.company/if/flow/default-authentication-flow/?next=%2F`
+
+After logging in, you can set the email address and other settings for the account by navigating to **Directory** > **Users** and editing the user account.
+
+:::note
+This method bypasses the initial setup flow and should only be used as a last resort. The initial setup flow is the recommended method to configure the administrator user.
