Kimsufi Root Password?

Hello.
Just bought a Kimsufi and selected a template to be installed via the OVH manager.
Unfortunately, i cant find the password of the root user. It seems to be nowhere!
I can access my server via ssh, but i dont know the root password and there is no change button in the manager!
Please advise.

The root password is emailed to you after installation.
Check your emails.
Your password should have been (auto) emailed to you by the manager once the template install completes.
Thanks for the response guys. Unfortunatelly, it seems that my OVH emails are blocked. I never received even an order confirmation.
You can reinstall providing an ssh key, connect using that once installation has completed.
just a copy/paste for you..
Set your server to Netboot → Recovery
You will receive information via Email when your servers in recovery mode.
SSH in with credentials provided
Find your root partition
The one with the asterisk (*) will be the correct one. Mount it.
Change root to your new mount point
Change password
Once that is complete, go back to the panel and turn netboot off (set it to ‘hdd’)
Isn't there a button where all the emails sent to you are stored? I really forgot OVH's panel ...
OP did state that he doesnt receive OVH emails :P
Contacted OVH. They responded within 12 hours, changed my primary email to my gmail and now everything is fine
By the way, the error that was responsible for it was:
The error that the other server returned was:
550-DKIM: encountered the following problem validating ovh.ie:
550 pubkey_unavailable
I still wonder how a company like OVH hasnt add a dkim record, but anyway
