# Unable to create admin user

 * I’ve just moved a domain to a different host and have installed wp at the new
   host. Received the success email fine but the URL to set up the admin comes up
   as a page not found with the old site still in tact.
 * I don’t want to retain any of the old site. How can I get rid of it so I can 
   start fresh with WordPress? Please help! 🙂

 * Was the domain name transferred to the new hosts? If so, when? It can take up
   to 72 hours for a domain name change to fully propagate.

 * Sorry for the slow reply. The issue was exactly as you said… slow to propagate.
   Thanks for coming back.
