It's not random. You choose your level when creating an account.

 

There are currently 5 levels: https://support.chess.com/article/671-how-do-i-create-an-account

@opishan, just play some games, your rating will quickly get to where it should be based on your performance.

The lowest starting rating is 400 which is the rating you started at. If you lose your first game, your rating will drop though.

You can start at 400, 800, 1200, or 1600. This is the default rating and cannot be changed
