[Others]initial root password for ubuntu installation

I'm a total beginner here. I just purchased the starter plan and fired up my first Ubuntu instance.
It's running and I'm trying to SSH in as root.... and realized I don't know the root password. I've been clicking around trying to figure this out for a while. Could someone point me in the right direction? Whenever I've installed Ubuntu on my own physical servers, I've had a chance to set the root password. I'm not sure what to do at the moment.

I managed to figure it out. I reset the password for the instance under the More menu for the instance in the ECS control panel. Then restarted the instance and was able to login as root.

Thanks for your post, I am having hard time in trying to locate the root password too..

i have the same issue , after one day i cant login my Terminal , i can log into the Terminal VNC , but i cant login to the root account

if there is any useful information please help with it !

You can modify it from the console after the instance is created.

The same with me. I tried to "Reset password" and restart instance in console but i can not login into terminal after 1 day. :(

I reseted the password, restarted the instance but I can't login. Any hints?

Use "root", not "Root". Case matters.
