I Did Not Receive an Email with My Vultr Compute Instance's Root Password

Updated on 15 September, 2025

Explains why Vultr doesnt email root passwords for security reasons and how to access your instance instead


Vultr does not send root passwords via email for security reasons.

When you deploy a new instance, Vultr automatically generates a random root password. You can view this password securely from the Vultr Customer Portal by selecting your instance and navigating to the instance information page.

If you've lost access to the root password, there is currently no direct way to reset it. Vultr does not support automated root password resets. In such cases, please contact Vultr Support for assistance.
