In this section, we'll go through how to import the _first-dao_** seed phrase** into the Metamask wallet.
The first step is to open up the Metamask browser extension and log in. If you're using Chrome you should be able to open Metamask by clicking on the fox icon located to the right of your address bar (see the image below).
If you can't see it, click here. This will open up an interface to your Ethereum wallet.

Importing the 12 words phrase will allow you to use Metamask with your first-dao.
If you are running the Aragon Client, enter the path and type:
cd first-daoyarn start
Click on Forgot password. Metamask should now open up in a new window with a heading Reset Wallet.
Now, what you need to do is to look at the output of your terminal after you run yarn start. You should see the following at the start:
These 12 words phrases will allow us to use Metamask to access an account that has permission to update the Counter in our Counter app.
Note that your seed phrase (or mnemonic phrase) won't be the same as mine. So make sure you copy yours from your terminal, and not from this blog.
Once you copied the 12 word seed phrase, paste it into the wallet seed text box, and create a new password (see image below):
The imported account will appear in the My account list when clicking on the top right circle.
You've now connected Metamask to your first-dao.
