How to reset ROOT administrator password in Vultr Debian system

Snail remembers that in the early version of the Vultr panel, if you forget your ROOT password, you can reset the new password directly in the panel. After all, this is how most merchants operate. Nowadays, in the new version of the Vultr panel, we can directly copy a random password after activating the VPS host. However, some netizens will set a new password after logging in via SSH. At this time, the password in the panel will definitely not change.

I met a netizen who forgot what he changed after changing the VULTR ROOT password. So how do you reset your password if you need to log in to SSH? Here Snail refers to the official document solution to implement the Vultr password reset method. The system currently used by this netizen is Debian, and different mirrors use different methods.

Regarding resetting the Vultr Windows password, Snail has recorded it in the article "Reset/Retrieve Vultr VPS Host Windows System Password Operation Process".

First, log in to the current View Console

Log in to the current host panel, and then see \\"View Console\\" in the upper right corner.

Then click "SEND CRTLALTDEL" in the upper right corner, then install the ESC key immediately and stay in the picture below.

Step 2: Prepare to reset password settings

After seeing the picture above, type the letter E on the keyboard, and then see the picture below.

See the red box in the picture above and add init=/bin/bash at the end

After completing the input, press ctrl+x to restart.

Step 3: Reset ROOT password

Enter \\"mount -o remount,rw /\\", then press Enter and reset the new password after passwd. Finally, we click "send CrtlAltDel" in the upper right corner to restart the server.

Finally, we can use the new password to log in to the Vultr VPS host that currently forgets the password. At present, Snail has been successfully demonstrated on the Debian system. I saw that the centos method in the official document is different. I will demonstrate it again when I have time. However, if you need to be reminded, if the data in our server is important, remember to take a snapshot backup first.
