The first boot
This is a good thing in this case. After all you don't want to try to log in to the Raspberry Pi with a remote control.
Like with most Linux distributions out there, you can also log in via SSH. OpenELEC has a default password for the
root account set at “
openelec
.” You can see in Figure

where I am logging in to the Raspberry Pi.

SSH login into OpenELEC
You may have noticed that when you first boot up the date and time are wrong. That is because of the missing
real-time clock. Unlike Fedora, OpenELEC uses a read-only
squashfs
filesystem for the root volume. This makes it a
little harder to set up network time protocol (NTP), for example. You can no longer enable a service to start or edit a
config file in the
/etc
filesystem so on the next reboot the changes will be gone.
