SQL Server Express: I need Admin rights to create a DB

I installed SQL Server Express 2019, and am not trying to use SSMS (v18.9.1) ti created a new database.

I am getting the error:
CREATE DATABASE permission denied in 'master'. (MS SQL Server, Error: 262)

Any idea what I may be doing wrong? Or, might I have a sub-standard set of credentials?

SQL Server Express was installed automatically via my company's software installation platform.

Thanks

I am not an Admin on my company machine. I guess that is the issue.

If I get them, on temp basis, how do I translate that into creating a database? Will it be automatic, since I use Windows Auth?
