Accessing your new server as root

This does not apply for servers created using Gandi AI. For Gandi AI, you do not have root access to your server.

After your Gandi MI server has been created, you can access it at:

login@<your IP address>

For example if your IP Address is 123.123.123.123, and you want to access your server with ssh type:

ssh login@123.123.123.123

Replace “login” by the login ID you defined during the creation process.

The password will be the one that you specified for this login ID during the creation of your server.

For security reasons we have disabled root by default, so you cannot login using the root username. You must log in with the username that you chose when you created the server. Then, if you want to operate as root, simply switch to the root user using su.

su root
(enter password)
