VPS passwords are specific to each VPS and are encrypted to each virtual machine during deployment. That said, there are multiple methods for resetting a SkySilk VPS root password.
1. Login to your SkySilk account.
2. Select the VPS in question.
3. Choose the RE-INSTALL tab and confirm.
*Please note this option will reset the entire machine to its original state but will allow for you to set a new root password. If you want to retain your machine's data and also have an SSH Keypair set, you can reset your root password via the method below.
1. Connect to VM using your private key:
ssh -i /path/to/id_rsa root@server.ip
2. Reset the root password (type the following command in the command prompt ending each line with pressing the Enter button on the keyboard):
passwd <user>
Enter & Confirm New Password
exit
<user> is typically going to be 'root' unless you have specifically made and are trying to log in as a user other than root.
