Drupal account registration

Question

I have installed Drupal 7.42 and am using it with Xampp server with PHP version 5.5.27 and server version 5.6.25. I want to access the Drupal admin page or dashboard but I can't because when I create a new account it asks me to select a username and then asks for my email. I provide both of these and then get a message saying that I should check my mail for further instructions to activate the account.

The problem is I am not getting any such mail even after several attempts. My junk folder too has nothing in it. Please help me to resolve this issue. Thank you.

You say that you can't access admin page, but again you say that "when I create a new account..."..?! You can you create a new account without accessing admin pages? — MilanG
