Guide to recovering the root password for a Vultr Compute Instance through the customer portal
If you’ve lost access to the root password of your Vultr Compute Instance, you can retrieve it from the instance overview page in the Vultr Customer Portal.
However, if you’ve already changed the root password and forgotten it again—or if the password listed in the Customer Portal no longer works—you can reset it by booting into single-user mode using the SystemRescue ISO. Refer to this guide, to reset the root password of your instance.
