====== Connect to Vizy over VNC ======

[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_Network_Computing|VNC]] is a remote desktop utility.  In other words, it's a straightforward way to see the graphical desktop of the Raspberry Pi that's inside your Vizy.  

Vizy comes with a VNC server installed and running.  You will need a VNC viewer such as [[https://www.realvnc.com/en/connect/download/viewer/|RealVNC]] to connect.  Viewers are available that run on your desktop, laptop, tablet, or phone.  

Note, the video preview that's available from the [[wiki:running_utilities|camera utilities]] won't be viewable in VNC.

To connect, just point your VNC viewer  to ''%%vizy.local%%'' as shown below:

Use ''%%pi%%'' and ''%%raspberry%%'' as username and password to connect.

You'll get access to the Raspberry Pi's desktop if a connection is successfully made:

===== Changing the password =====

The VNC server is configured to use the usernames and passwords that are configured in Linux.  So if you wanted to change the password for the ''%%pi%%'' username, you could do so from a shell.  To bring up a shell, click on the ☰ icon in the upper right corner and select **Shell**. (Please refer to the [[wiki:vizy_getting_started|getting started guide]] if you need help with connecting to your Vizy, etc.)

From within the shell, type ''%%passwd%%'', which will allow you to the password for the ''%%pi%%'' account.
