Rachel Pi Admin password

LumaiM · March 11, 2019, 12:14pm

I need help with above subject. I bought Rachel pi and its performing well thus far. I have created a number of user accounts but I noticed there is provision to create an admin account as well. Is there a default admin user name and password?

Hi,

The default admin login should be “admin” and the password should be “Rachel+1”. If that doesn’t work the password could be “rachel”.

Hi James,
Thanks for your response. It however could not work but i managed to get the login credentials from another site. Thank you. its ‘root’ for user and rachel as pass.

I have also been trying to login following the instructions of @jamesk using “admin” and “Rachel+1” as rachel login and password, but no luck. I also tried the “root” and “rachel” recommended by @LumaiM but also didn’t work for me. In one try I was able to login with the “pi” and “raspberry”, but is not working anymore after exiting. I am using a raspberry pi 3 model B+ and would appreciate any help to get this working.

Hello @Joseph_Tarawali

Are you using one of the newer images from this post?

The admin login/password on these images is admin/Rachel+1. This is for the admin interface that is linked on the main page of RACHEL at http://10.10.10.10.

The login.password for the system, should be “pi/rachel”. This is if you’re logging in on the command line or over SSH.

Hope this works for you. “pi/raspberry” is the default login/password for new installations of the raspberry pi operating system, but we generally change this for RACHEL.

Hi James…I’m logged into my Rachel Pi with WinSCP as pi user. I’m trying to change the Wifi name from Rachel to another name.i have open the hostapd file but it’s owned by root. how do i go about editing and saving this file. root/1234 and root/rachel do not log me in.

Hi @walash - It sounds like you need to change the shell login to use sudo su - in WinSCP.

Select the site for your Pi in WinSCP
Click edit
Click advanced
Select SCP/Shell from the left side
on the right side click the “shell” dropdown menu
Select sudo su -
Click ok
Click Save

Now when you connect you will have root privileges. Make sure to log in as pi/rachel.

Ok…thanks…Let me try this out.

Hi James,

I followed the steps and I’m now able to change the default Wi-Fi Name. Thank you very much.

I had 2 questions about this change. I can see my new Wi-Fi name (EDUHUB) when the RPI is not connected to my router by Cat5. But when i connect the ethernet, the Wi-Fi EDUHUB does not show up as an available network. Is this expected?

Secondly how do i make the EDUHUB a secured Wi-Fi network?

Hi @walash - I responded about securing wifi in another of your comments. No, unplugged or plugging in the cat5 cable should not change the availability of the wifi hotspot.

Is there anyone in this forum know the password of Rachel pi when logging as root?

jamesk · November 15, 2023, 6:15pm

Hi @kikman,

You will need to run the command “sudo su” to become the root user

Your connection in this is not private?
Log in to Admin Dashboard, does any one know?
What is the Log in user and password?

Hi @Suysokheng

The login/password is admin/R8ache9L1234

Hello James, I saw your video on uploading a Module to a Rachel Plus. I am trying to do the same using a Raspberry PI 4. For Host I am using 10.10.10.10, Username: admin, Password: R8ach9L1234 and Port 21, even tried 22 but I am not able to connect. What should be using for these four sections. Help and Thanks.

Hi David,

The user name and password should be pi/rachel.

Hope that helps

Gogers · May 22, 2024, 5:33pm

Hello James, first of all thanks for getting back to me. Originally I have updated modules to the Raspberry PI going through the Admin portion, so are a few there that I can see an open when access the Raspberry PI. I created a module on my laptop and trying to upload onto the Raspberry PI. I was able to see the information on the Raspberry PI using the Username and Password you provided, but only when the Ethernet cable is connected to the Raspberry PI. I do see the Media folder, but there is no rachel/modules subfolders. I just see usb, usb1, usb2…7. I use the LAN ip that is provided when I access the home page, in my case 10.0.0.146.

If I disconnect the Ethernet cable the LAN ip changes to 127.0.0.1, but I an not able to connect to the server.

I watched your YouTube video STEP THREE Upload Module to Rachel but do not the see the subfolders you show to upload my module too.

Any thoughts what I am missing or next steps. Appreciate all your help.

Thanks,
David

Hi @Gogers,

For the RACHEL-Pi the instructions are a bit different. The instructions are on the main RACHEL-Pi post at https://community.worldpossible.org/t/2022-rachel-pi-images/1294

There are several tutorials at this link Index of /rachel-pi/tutorials but the following one might help you transfer modules using WinSCP if you’re not using the “install” tab of the admin interface to install modules.

Hope that helps
