# Raspberry Pi Software Configuration Tool

This section explains all of the settings I found important to change on the Raspberry Pi OS using the Raspberry Pi Software Configuration Tool. This section is completely optional, Klipper will work just fine without doing any of the changes listed below.

The subsections contained within this module are:

* [Changing the Default Password](https://sean-dearing.gitbook.io/klipper-installation-for-anycubic-vyper/setting-up-your-raspberry-pi/raspberry-pi-software-configuration-tool/changing-the-default-password)
* [Changing the Hostname](https://sean-dearing.gitbook.io/klipper-installation-for-anycubic-vyper/setting-up-your-raspberry-pi/raspberry-pi-software-configuration-tool/changing-the-hostname)
* [Changing the Localisation Options](https://sean-dearing.gitbook.io/klipper-installation-for-anycubic-vyper/setting-up-your-raspberry-pi/raspberry-pi-software-configuration-tool/changing-the-localisation-options)

Loading the Raspberry Pi Software Configuration Tool:

* In Windows open a command prompt;
  * <mark style="color:red;">`Windows Key + R`</mark>, type <mark style="color:red;">`cmd`</mark>, then click <mark style="color:red;">`OK`</mark>;

* In the Command Prompt window;
  * Type <mark style="color:red;">`ssh pi@<ipaddress>`</mark> and press <mark style="color:red;">`Enter`</mark>;

{% hint style="info" %}
While entering the password it will not show the characters being entered in the command window.&#x20;
