The default page when i browse the public ip of my instance mentions :
"With a password: For security reasons the root password is initially set to a random value. To find the initial random root password, right click the instance in the AWS Management console, select "Get System Log":"
Where I can trace the password in the log ?
I see no variable or part mentioned as "password".
thanks in advance
Forum:
solved
in case anyone is wondering you just have to look at the log first thing after your instance is up because the log keeps refreshing with every action. so you won't be able to see the root password after a couple of failed attempts to login
Sorry I was a bit slow...
But glad to hear that you worked it out and thanks heaps for posting back with your answer! :)
