      Root password change/reset

      Password change

      If you want to change the current root password:

      1. Connect to the server via SSH (as root with the current password).
      2. Run:
        passwd
      3. Enter the new password 2 times
      4. The new password has been set. You can connect to the server using the new password.

      Password reset

      For security reasons, the user cannot recover a lost root password by himself.

      If the current root password is unknown and lost – create ticket to technical support.
