Cannot create new database in Sql Server Management Studio

I am getting error message when trying to create a new database. I just recently installed sql server express and express mgmt studio. Everything loads up fine and I can enter the name of the database however once I click Ok, I get the error message:

Create failed for Database 'Student'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.Smo)

Additional information:

An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.ConnectionInfo)

CREATE DATABASE permission denied in database 'master'.

(Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 262)

Any help is appreciated.

You are probably not a member of the db_creator role in SQL Server as creating a database require writing some entries in the system catalog (master database).
