Hi,

I have a StarWind SAN&NAS VM and am looking to configure it for automation, and require its root access in CLI.

Can I know how can I gain its root access, and what is the root username / password

The default I know is

Code: Select all

user / rds123RDS
, but once I login via SSH and try

Code: Select all

su root
with password as

Code: Select all

starwind
it does not seem to work.

Sadly, you cannot get root access. Also, root logins are disabled.
