How do I gain Root access?

Linode Staff

I am trying to get the credentials needed to make some configuration changes to my domain. I have reached out to the 3rd party that created this entire environment for help and I'm unable to obtain the credentials.

Is there any way to still log into the server to make these changes?

You can easily reset the password in the Linode Manager, which will gain you root access and allow you make the necessary changes.

Using the Classic Linode Manager, this guide will walk you through resetting the root password.

Using the new Cloud Manager, click here

Let us know if you have any more concerns or questions, we are happy to help.

Kind Regards,
