What Is the Default Password for Logging In to a Linux ECS?

The default username for logging in to an ECS running Linux (such as CentOS or Ubuntu) is root, and the password is the one you set during the ECS creation.

If you forgot the login password or did not set a password when creating the ECS, you can reset the password.
