I am trying to log in as root to update iptables. I have logged in as the mc user via putty (also though proxmox console). I try to sudo but sudo isn’t installed. I su and I get prompted for a password but the password doesn’t work. I am using the same password as I entered for the mc user. I don’t recall being prompted for a root password. I am using MineOS Turnkey. Is there a default password?
You are asked for a root passwd at install. If you have lost you root password these instructions may help you:

Thanks!
Knowing it was one I picked I went back and tried again. Was able to log in. I think maybe I was locked out due to retries? Anyway, thanks again!

Hi!
I’m trying to get access to what i think I need. Root. I am trying to upgrade to java 17 but I keep getting permission denied errors. I’m trying to login as root but don’t have a password and can’t get access.
I have followed a few of the link solutions to reset root without success.
Any suggestions?
