Logging into your Raspberry Pi

Prerequisite - You will need to have Bonjour installed in order to access each Raspberry Pi at a "Human-Friendly" IP address.
Download Bonjour Print Services for Windows here.
After installing Bonjour, and also in the case of networking issues, restarting the computer is a good first-step for troubleshooting.

  1. Download the application PuTTY here. We will use this application to log into the Raspberry Pi.

  2. Install the PuTTY application.

  3. Open the PuTTY application.

  4. Enter "mcu.local" into the "Host Name (or IP address)" field and then click "Open".

  5. PuTTY will now open a terminal. If this is your first time connecting, your will be asked to approve a security certificate; go ahead and accept by hitting "enter". Once the terminal is up, it will prompt you for a user. Enter "pi" and then hit "enter".

    PuTTY will ask for a password. The default password is "raspberry". Enter this into the terminal.

    You'll notice that when you type, nothing happens. The terminal hides your typed password on purpose. Just keep typing the password. When you have finished typing "raspberry" hit "enter".
