VM recovery via cloud console: Difference between revisions

Then chroot into <code>/mnt</code>, which will show an ioctl error for the terminal process group, we can ignore that. Now we can just use <code>passwd</code> to reset the root password, once done we leave the chroot via <code>Ctrl+D</code>, unmount out previously mounted mount points and restart the system by using the <code>Ctrl+Alt+Del</code> submit button on the openstack console page, you can also just stop and start the VM since we unmounted all real filesystems, they are already synced and all buffers flushed to the virtual disk. So we are strictly operating in memory, which is volatile anyway.
