(^38) THE OFFICIAL RASPBERRY PI BEGINNER'S GUIDE
The next screen will ask you to choose a password. Normally, the password for the ‘pi’
user – which is the standard user name for all Raspberry Pi computers running Raspbian – is
‘raspberry’, but having a password everybody knows isn’t very secure. Choose a new one –
making sure it’s one you will remember – and enter it in the boxes (Figure 3-3). You can click
on the tick next to ‘Hide Passwords’ to show the passwords you’ve written, which must be the
same in both boxes. When you’re happy, click Next.

The next screen will allow you to choose your WiFi network from a list (Figure 3-4). Scroll
through the list of networks with the mouse or keyboard, find your network’s name, click on
it, then click Next. Assuming that your wireless network is secure (it really should be), you’ll
be asked for its password, also known as its pre-shared key; this is normally written on a card
with the router or on the bottom of the router itself. Click Next to connect to the network. If you
don’t want to connect to a wireless network, just click Skip.
