Today, after creating a snapshot of a server on Vultr and restoring it to another server, I didn't save the password of the original snapshot server. So, after the snapshot restoration was complete, I couldn't log into the system and needed to manually reset the root password. The method is as follows:
Go to the server details page, click the computer icon in the top right corner to enter the Console interface.
Then click the 'Send CtrlAltDel' button in the top right corner.
Press E on the keyboard in this interface.
Add init=\/bin\/bash after quiet on the third line from the bottom in the above image, then press CTRL + X to exit.
Then enter mount -o remount,rw \/ followed by passwd, then enter the new password twice. The modification will be successful. Restart the server to finish.
