Resetting Dedicated server root password via Virtual Console

(Information from outside the sources): If you lose access to your server, you can use the Virtual Console (IPMI/KVM) through your Hostaday Dashboard .

  1. Log in to your account and go to Hosting List > Manage.
  2. Open the Virtual Console.
  3. Reboot your server and enter the boot menu (usually GRUB) to access single-user mode.
  4. From there, you can run the passwd command to set a new root password. This tool provides direct "hardware-level" access even if SSH is not working.
