How to enter password into Raspberry Pi?

If you are new to the world of Raspberry Pi and Linux Kernel in general, you will encounter some peculiar use case issues to which you were not used to earlier. One such peculiar use case is with entering the password to log into your Raspberry Pi after booting it up.

When you are watching the logs generated in the command line terminal during the Raspberry Pi boot up process, you will see that the Raspberry Pi throws a lot of log messages and then finally halts at a point waiting for the user to enter an username and password to log into the Raspberry Pi device.

At this point in time, you will see a prompt blinking for username. You need to enter the default username which is "pi" as chosen by the Raspberry Pi developer community.

Next, you will need to enter the password. Note that at this point in time, there is no cursor blinking or you cannot see any character that you have typed on screen to enter your password. This is not an issue but a safety feature implemented in the Linux Kernel to prevent anyone around you from reading your typed in password. So go ahead and type the default password "raspberry" and hit enter. You should be able to log into the Raspberry Pi home directory if you typed the password correctly.

If you failed to enter the password characters correctly, Raspberry Pi console application will tell you so and allow you to re-enter the password once again.

Hope this helps!
