Set Container Root Password

VMID: 5000
Password: L@kers2010


Methods to Set Password

  1. Log into Proxmox web interface
  2. Navigate to Container 5000 (blockscout-1)
  3. Go to OptionsPassword
  4. Enter password: L@kers2010
  5. Click OK

Method 2: Via Container Console

# SSH to Proxmox host
ssh root@192.168.11.10

# Enter container console (if on pve2)
ssh pve2
pct enter 5000

# Set password
passwd root
# Enter: L@kers2010 (twice)

Method 3: Via chpasswd (Command Line)

If you can access the container directly:

# SSH to Proxmox host
ssh root@192.168.11.10

# Execute chpasswd in container
pct exec 5000 -- bash -c 'echo "root:L@kers2010" | chpasswd'

# Or if container is on pve2
ssh pve2
pct exec 5000 -- bash -c 'echo "root:L@kers2010" | chpasswd'

Method 4: Via Proxmox API

ssh root@192.168.11.10
pvesh create /nodes/pve2/lxc/5000/exec \
  --command 'bash' \
  --arg '-c' \
  --arg 'echo root:L@kers2010 | chpasswd'

Verification

After setting the password, verify by attempting to login:

# Once container has IP 192.168.11.140
ssh root@192.168.11.140
# Password: L@kers2010
