[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.

Hi World!

i have the same question and i fix it

I created an account precisely because I wanted to see how Aliyun worked. I was in the same situation as you. that's what I had to do to connect with my first machine on Aliyun.

- Deploying the VM
- Blocks ICMP V4 (yes always with me)
- We modify the information of the machine
- Reset password
- Restarting the machine
- And here we can connect in SSH

If you connect with VNC on the machine before you change informations you always see the first hostname like that : zb464.... and after reboot it is ok with your new password.

enjoy

Hi for all, i have the same, proble . how to solve ' thank's for all

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

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

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

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

if there is any useful information please help with it !

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

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

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.
