Now you will be able to ssh into your Pi so you can work on it from another computer if you would like. Once the Raspberry Pi reboots, it will prompt you for login information. Where it says "raspberrypi login: " type the default username which is
pi and hit enter. Where it says "password: " type the default password which is
raspberry*when typing the password, no characters will be displayed. Don't get freaked out and think your keyboard stopped working. Just type out the password as you normally would and hit enter when you are done. I promise it is receiving your input!
At this point, find the IP address of your raspberry pi with the following command:
ifconfigIn the second line of the output you will see "
inet addr: " followed by a number to the effect of 192.168.1.1 (yours will be slightly different, but you get the idea). Write this number down and bring up your SSH client. For this example I am using an application called
Putty as my SSH client. Type the IP address that you wrote down from the ifconfig step into the text field that says "Host Name (or IP address)"
It will prompt you for login information, this will be the same as before. Username is
pi and the password is
raspberryOnce logged in, it is a good security practice to change the default password. Change your password with the following command:
sudo passwd piRun the following commands to ensure your OS is up to date (hit enter after each and wait until one runs to completion before starting another):
sudo apt-get updatesudo apt-get upgrade
