Not everyone gets an admin account automatically. Current approach: The user already knows username and password of this admin account (included in README file). When user clicks on the login button, the application checks if any user with admin privileges exists. If not, then an account with admin privileges is setup. Admin user can change his/her password thereafter. On subsequent runs (when admin account is already exists), another admin account won't be created and there exists only one admin account. Also, once created the admin account can not be deleted.
Problem: Every time user clicks on the login button, the method to make admin account if no exists is called upon. What I would like to do: When user runs the application and no admin account exists, then display a signup/create admin form to create an admin account. Usually this will occur during first run, but not necessarily. How can I implement this? Other suggestions are welcome.. Thanks, Amita.
