Use an existing wallet keystore file or execute the following command to generate a new one:

**Note**: The program will prompt you to enter a password, <mark style="color:purple;">please remember this password for future use.</mark> The generated keystore file will have a corresponding **node address**, Please keep it properly to avoid losing it, it will be used in the dashboard configuration

**#Change to the decompressed program directory. Be sure to select the disk directory where you decompressed the files.**

```bash
cd C:\privasea\usb-windows-node   
```

**#the following command to generate the keystore:**

<pre><code><strong>./calc.exe  new_keystore
</strong></code></pre>

```bash
Enter password for a new key: // Input wallet password
Enter password again to verify: // Re-enter the password for confirmation
```

Once the wallet is successfully generated, you will see the following information:

```
node address: 0x24Bc26f56a4Cdf4FB83D8Df7bA60F04a87De07b8
# This is the node address you generated, used for binding in the dashboard
node filename: keystore://C:\privasea\usb-windows-node\config\UTC--2024-12-25T08-25-43.836167800Z--24bc26f56a4cdf4fb83d8df7ba60f04a87de07b8
