Ubuntu server problem

[Eirikstrand1996]

Hi, am working on a test form a IT company so i might work ther. but at stuck at one point.
2nd task is to set up an virtue server for a client. it has to be ubuntu 14.08 LTS. and SSH.
(btw working in Openstack on the companys desktop)
it is one tips with the task: the username is ''ubuntu'' and i need to use sudo to root.
i think i did the setup wright but i don't know the password so i cant figure out how i can sudo anything.
you guys can look at det Instance console log and the consol.

Are you asking us to geuss the password?

Try Ubuntu and Ubuntu.(user/pass) or Ubuntu and root.

There is no "default" password on a Ubuntu setup. You can either have a blank password, or one set up.

If the blank one doesn't work, then it's something else and you'll not easily crack it.

 

However.....the password can be bypassed IF you know what you are doing (I've done this before several times on failed/corrupted installs)

How did you deploy this virtual machine?

If it's from an image, then they should have documentation on what the password is for the account thats pre-configured. 

If you deployed it and set the password for the "root" user, then you need to sudo -i (to switch to root), and either change the password for the Ubuntu user, e.g passwd ubuntu - or you can edit the /etc/sudoers file to not prompt for a sudo password.
