HOW TO GAIN ROOT ACCESS ON OVH VPS

YOU MUST OWN THE VPS

Bought an OVH and got given user ubuntu etc? Here's how to fix that issue.

Getting Started

  • Type sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config
  • Scroll Down until you see #PermitRootLogin prohibit-password change that to PermitRootLogin yes then Save.
  • Type sudo passwd your_password - Enter New Password, then again.
  • Once that is done do service sshd restart
  • Then login using user root and password your_password

Hope it works for you.
