Changing the Root Password

All nodes in a HyperScale cluster share the same root password. To update the password, you must change it on every node in the cluster.

Procedure

1. Log in to the node using the following credentials:

   Username: root

   Password: cvadmin

2. Run the following command:

   # passwd
   

3. Follow the on-screen prompts to set a new password.

   • Passwords are case-sensitive.

4. Type exit and press Enter to log out.

5. Log back in as root using the new password to confirm the change.

What To Do Next

Repeat the above steps on all remaining nodes in the HyperScale cluster to ensure that all nodes use the same root password.
