Sorry - haven’t been able to figure out why the module loader doesn’t work on the Pi 5 image.
Thanks. so how are you loading modules. i’m in a bind and need to load the modules before a presentation tomorrow.
That’s the problem, for me, with the Pi5 build. Normally I load modules using ftp (great tutorial about that in the tutorial section of the ftp site.) However, no one seems to know the username/password for the ftp app to access the Pi5 build.
So, I have gone back to using my Pi 3’s.
If you put modules on a USB stick and plug it into RPI you should be able to copy over modules with general linux commands.
Hi Jeremy,
are there different root passwords for RPI 4s? Using WinSCP, i have tried root /123lkj and it says access denied.
Hi @walash. I don’t know. We haven’t handled the raspberry pi in many years.
Hello all,
Any ideas for the ssh credentials? pi/rachel doesnt work
The username for the rachel_pi_64bit_03_14_2024 image appears to be rachel
I have not found the password yet. I’ve ordered a pi to see if I can find it.
@jeremy thank you for your response, i was able to figure out the password, it is Rachel+1
Yes, I was able to get into the Pi5 with rachel/Rachel+1. However, even though I had a 256 GB card, loaded with rachel_pi_64bit_03_14_2024.img, there was only 5.5GB available. The image didn’t let me use the full 256GB. Did I do something wrong when loading the image? Also, I still have the problem loading modules using the admin-Install tab - where it goes into an endless “loading” mode but never succeeding loading the list of available modules. (There is a screen shot if this posted on Jan 10 in this topic.)
Hi @ronsat you’ll have to expand the partition to use the full storage amount. I have not done it myself in 10 years or so but if you google raspberry pi expand partition to fill card I’m sure you will find tutorials.

Not sure what’s going on with the install tab. Seems to affect a lot of devices but is working for us here. Are you sure you’re getting internet into the raspberry pi?
The problem with the Install tab may be because the RACHEL modules are stored in /var/www/html/modules on the Pi-5 build rather than /var/www/modules as is the case with other RACHEL-Pi images.
Someone reported this on RACHEL plus also. It should not affect seeing the available modules. I’m wondering if the internet is passing through to the RACHEL
I don’t see why the RACHEL isn’t connected to the Internet. The setup is that same as what I use for Pi2’s and PI3’s - an ethernet cable from the router to the Pi. And I am accessing the Pi successfully through the IP address 192.168 0.*. So there might be something in the build from that image that is preventing Internet access.
Yes, that’s my current guess. If you connect to the WiFi of the Pi itself can you navigate to web pages through the Pi’s wifi connection?
Hmm - I didn’t know that you could navigate to the web through the Pi’s WiFi connection. In any case, I tried with both my Pi5 and a Pi3 - and could navigate to web pages.
However, both the Pi5 and Pi3 could not use the Install feature from the admin pages. In both cases, the screen showed a perpetual loading symbol - as illustrated in my Jan 10 screen shot above. So, it might be a problem at your end.
I think the IP Address for the server that has the modules has been changed or server shutdown. I have tried 3 images:
The 9/2021 image
The 10/2022 image
The image that is installed on Linux Mint via Oracle VirtualBox.
They all give me that circling icon when you go to the Admin page and try to install modules.
This can’t be user error if other users are experiencing the same thing. Seems the only fix now is to manually download modules and use WinSCP to install them into the 09/2021 64GB image.
you can still login via the command line and use rsync commands:
