You can change the account name later.

{% hint style="warning" %}
SubWallet is non-custodial, so you will be the only person who knows your password; we can't help you restore it once it is lost. Make sure that your password is well-kept.
{% endhint %}

Once you create a master password, you can follow the importing procedure provided in [If you are currently using SubWallet](https://app.gitbook.com/o/CyPU0v2iA12ILmupTKub/s/-Lh39Kwxa1xxZM9WX_Bs/~/changes/708/mobile-app-user-guide/account-management/import-accounts/import-from-json-file#if-you-are-currently-using-subwallet), starting from **Step 3.**
