Symptoms
Resetting the root password does not work for KVM VPS if there is another user containing "root" in the username in SolusVM
Cause
Bug #SVM-2852
Resolution
As a workaround, reset the root password using the below instructions:
- Access the KVM Slave Node via SSH
- Create a directory and mount a VPS image into it with the commands:
# mkdir /mnt_tmp
# guestmount -a /dev/{vg}/kvmID_img -i --rw /mnt_tmpNote: replace /dev/{vg}/kvmID_img with the actual logical volume path
- Chroot into /mnt_tmp and reset the root password:
# chroot /mnt_tmp
# passwd
