Default username and password in Raspbian OS is pi and raspberry. To confirm it, you may run

in terminal. It is recommended to change this to something different.

Type

Code: Select all

passwd

in terminal and enter current password and then new password. That's it !

Then you can make the OS to prompt for login information at startup by going to Menu -> Preferences -> Raspberry Pi Configuration and tick off Login as user pi. In next topic, I'll write how to create a new user.
