Looking for a generated credential?

Some images generate a one-time admin credential at first boot. List whichever credential file your VM created:

sudo ls /var/lib/*/admin-password /opt/*/admin-password /root/*credential* /root/.*-initial-password 2>/dev/null

Still stuck?

Email support@dcassociatesgroup.com (response within 1 business day) or send a message via the contact form. Include the offer name, VM size, region, and any log output — sudo journalctl -u <service> -n 100 usually tells the story.
