Default username of cloud instances
All operating systems have a pre-configurated user account. This default user has full root privileges, allowing you to access, manage, and configure the instance.
The default username is required for various tasks in cloud instance management, including connecting via SSH.
Default username and password
Root passwords are disabled on our public Linux images. This means you cannot connect to your instance using the default username and password.
To establish the first connection with an instance you will need to use SSH. Follow the steps here.
Once you have connected with SSH, you can then log on and manage the users and passwords. Follow the steps here.
