-=Logging In to Raspberry Pi=-
Username: pi
Password: raspberry
Note: when a password is typed you will not see any characters being
entered. This is normal.

sudo nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
(see this guide for more info on configuring Wi-Fi using command line: raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/wireless/wireless-cli.md)

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

To learn more about Raspberry Pi, I highly recommend the resources provided by the Raspberry Pi Foundation: raspberrypi.org/resources

To learn more about the PiDrive and configuring Project Spaces, I recommend this getting started guide by WD Labs: wdlabs.wd.com/global/docs/wd-pidrive-foundation-edition-project-spaces.pdf
