# Change default credentials

## Password

You can leave the username as it comes, i.e. **pi**. However, I will obviously change the password. This can be done with the command `passwd`.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Shell" %}

```
passwd
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## Hostname

Use the system tool `raspi-config` to edit the hostname.

{% tab title="Shell" %}

```shell-session
raspi-config
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
