I created container using:

docker run -d --name bitwarden \
  -e SERVER_ADMIN_EMAIL=my@admin.email \
  -v /bw-data/:/data/ \
  -p 80:80 \
  mprasil/bitwarden:latest

How to set up password for this admin account?
I have already normal user account that I use

You just register account with that email. That account will have those extra privileges.

Note: Never use the account for storing passwords or anything else other than server administration. So please don't use your normal user account for that.
