Oneprovider root password Where? How?
Hello,
Got dedicated server from @OneProvider and can install debian easily, but where can i see root password? When installing it allows only normal user name choosing. But where is root passwprd? Do system email it to me or what?
I could reset root password by booting to rescue mode. But i think thats not normal way to do it.
Anyone have idea wheres that root passwprd in Oneproviders dedicated servers?
Also cannot yet use free 100Gb backup. Or IPMI. Made tickets about these.

Default root password should be in overview in control panel.
If you don't have it, you might have a server from a DC that doesn't use automation (my condolences), so they'll send you the password manually in a few days (they don't work weekends).
I can change that username, but cannot chnage it to root
did try that also 
Ok need to wait them to back to me. thanks @rdes
You can just ssh into the server with the other user, and use sudo to change/set the password for the root user?
You sound like experience guy with skills. How much you want to ssh into my server and run apt update?
I'll do
apt updateandapt upgradefor 1.5x the money. Or double the money, and I'll throw in a occasionalreboot, kind of a buy two and get one free deal. :PCould if my normal user account is in sudo group. But its not.
I'm worried. Are you ready yet?
