Change Password

It is always a good idea to change from the default password to prevent unauthorized access through SSH.

First off we need to establish an SSH connection to the device.

You may use whatever SSH client you want but if you are unfamiliar with SSH you can download a copy of PuTTY from https://www.putty.org/. Simply run the program, enter the IP of the BridgeX in the host name field and click Open. Accept any signature trust prompts that pop up.

Now we can use the raspbian config utility to change the password. Enter the following command:

Navigate the menus using the arrow keys and the enter key. Password is under System Options.

You will be prompted to enter the new password twice. You will not be able to see that you are typing, this is normal.

There should now be a text saying that the password was changed successfully.
