There are two ways to create a new Steem account, one is to register on Steemit.com authorizing with your Facebook or Reddit account and the other one is to mine an account. When you mine an account it has all 4 private keys set to the same one you have set in the miner and as a result you will not be able to login on Steemit.com as it will just give you an error message...
When you try to Login on steemit.com you get following Error Message:
This login gives owner or active permissions and should not be used here. Please provide a posting only login.
The usual solution to that problem would be to use the CLI wallet and change a key so that you will be able to login with it on Steemit. There is however a much easier way to do it without having to rely on the CLI wallet, especially if you are not so advanced user as that would require for you to type some commands in a console. The much easier way is to just use the Change Account Password feature on Steemit.com as it will generate a new full set of keys for you and you should be able to login with the new key you will get.
Once you login on Steemit.com with the new private key you got you will also be able to see what your other private keys are. So go for that as the easier method for solving the problem with the mined accounts not being able to longing on Steemit.com and not having to go through the CLI wallet.
