Hi, I’m trying to to use the CentOS 7 images provided by http://cloud.CentOS.org/, this works fine when using CentOS user to SSH in with keys, but I’m trying to create a new image base on it, so does it have default password I can use to login to the console, before I can configure the network setting inside.

Thanks!

  • Hello,

    I believe the root password is disabled (also SSH password logins). What you can do is boot in single user (init=/bin/sh) and unlock the password, set a custom password etc.

  • Will “$ sudo passwd” work? It does with some live CD distros.

  • Thanks, I just use qemu-nbd mount the image, and modified the shadow file.
