Once the Raspberry Pi has booted, you should be presented with the Dexter Industries desktop. If you are ever asked for a username or password, the defaults are:

Username: pi
Password: raspberry

BrickPi Desktop

If you would like to configure the Raspberry Pi, open up a terminal:

Raspberry Pi Terminal

and enter the following command:

sudo raspi-config

You will be presented with the Raspberry Pi configuration screen. It is recommended that you expand the filesystem. Have a look at the other options (descriptions for the various options can be found here).
