Now, after reading the script, I can't exactly tell why you already have a saved password from the password server but that cause the script to fail. It might be because of the multiple attempts you've done before but I can't be sure. Maybe you could reboot the VR to flush all pending passwords and reset the file where they are stored. After that, you could test again. Let me know. Cheers, Julien This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.

Hi @gaaray2k, you are right, one step is missing. In order to make the script work (wether it is Ubuntu, Debian or CentOS) you have to add a systemd service that will launch the password script at boot time. What we do to make this work is to create the file /etc/systemd/system/setpassword.service and set it to mode +x with the following content : [Unit] Description=script to reset the root password Wants=network-online.target After=network-online.target [Service] Type=oneshot ExecStart=/bin/bash /etc/init.d/cloud-set-guest-password.sh [Install] WantedBy=default.target This procedure should allow the system to run the cloud-set-guest-password script at boot time and as soon as the network is detected and therefore, if a password change is pending on the DHCP of the VM, it should be reset. Don't forget that this feature only works if the VM's network is set to DHCP. Let me know if it's ok or if you need further assistance.
