How to change the root password of an OpenVZ container?

The root password of an OpenVZ container can be changed through the following steps:

First, identify the ID of the OpenVZ container you want to update the root password on. You can do this by running the command:

```
vzlist -a
```

This command will show a list of all the containers and their IDs.

Once you have the ID, change the container’s root password by running the sudo passwd command followed by the container ID:

```
vzctl set —userpasswd root: —save
```

Replace `` with your container’s ID, and `` with your new desired password.

For example:

```
vzctl set 101 —userpasswd root:MyNewPassword —save
```

This will set the root password of the container with the ID 101 to “MyNewPassword”. You should receive a message confirming that the password was changed successfully.

Then, restart your container with the command:

```
vzctl restart
```

Replace `` with your container’s ID. The container’s root password is now changed.
