Logging into your Raspberry Pi is an essential skill that everyone should know. The default login credentials for a Raspberry Pi are username: ‘pi’ and password: ‘raspberry’. However, it is important to remember that if you have changed the password, those will no longer be the valid details. If this happens, simply enter the new information you have set and you should be able to log in.

It is important to note that you can also create multiple user accounts on your Raspberry Pi. This is done through the Terminal interface or by using a graphical tool such as Users and Groups (with LXDE). With additional users, you can use their credentials to log in instead of using the default ‘pi’ user. To change the password for an account, use the passwd command followed by the username of which you want to modify the password.
Another option when logging into your Raspberry Pi is with SSH. This allows for secure remote access from another device over either Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection. To enable SSH on your Raspberry Pi, open up Terminal and type in sudo raspi-config followed by selecting Interfacing Options and then select SSH from there to enable it. Once enabled, enter ssh pi@ into another computer’s terminal window where stands for your Raspberry Pi’s IP address and hit enter to log in with the ‘pi’ user credentials mentioned earlier (default username = pi; default password = raspberry).
Finally, if all else fails, many models of Raspberry Pi support a recovery feature called “resin” which allows you to recover any lost or forgotten passwords. All that needs to be done is plug an SD card containing resinOS into your Raspberry Pi while powering it up and it will reset all passwords back to their original values (default username = pi; default password = raspberry).
In conclusion, logging into your Raspberry Pi doesn’t have to be complicated – whether setting up additional users or recovering forgotten passwords – always remember that if nothing else works, resorting back to using the default login credentials (username: ‘pi’ & password: ‘raspberry’) should do the trick!
