Entity Framework code first setting value of a private setter

I have a model class:

public Account()
{

}

public Account(Guid id, int accountnumber, string accountType)
{
    Id = id;
    Accountnumber = accountnumber;
    AccountType = accountType;          
}

public Guid Id { get; private set; }
public int Accountnumber { get; private set; }
public string AccountType { get; private set; }

}

And a DbContext class:

class BankContext : DbContext
{
    public DbSet<Account> Accounts { get; set; }
}

and the main class where I am trying add the values.

Account account = new Account();

BankContext bank = new BankContext();
bank.Accounts.Add(new Account(Guid.NewGuid(), 343, "Checkings")
{                 
    Id=Guid.NewGuid();// returns error."Id is not accessible"
});

I did good research before I decided to ask help from stackoverflow. I would really appreciate if somebody could guide me on how to add values to the private elements in this scenario.

In your Class public Guid Id { get; private set; }.Where Id is private set. so you can't set the Id value publicly. Means you can't 

 new Account(...)
{
    Id=Guid.NewGuid();
}

It always return "Id is not accessible" error.

Another think why you need to set it. You already set it by using constructor.

 bank.Accounts.Add(new Account(Guid.NewGuid(), 343, "Checkings"));

It's jest fine.
