SSH Root Password Not Working

Prakhar Jalan

Hello,

For some reason, I am not able to SSH into the UTM with the root password. It always says "wrong password". What exactly am I missing here?

Thanks!

    You can get in directly as root at the console.  In order to get in as root via SSH, you have to enter your public key on the 'Shell Access' tab of 'Management >> System Settings'.  I use PuTTy for SSH and build my key pairs with puttygen (do a Google on site:community.sophos.com/kb puttygen UTM).

    Cheers - Bob
