June 16, 20224 yr I upgraded from 6.9 to 6.10 and now im presented with a login script. My root user doesnt have a password so im not sure how to login to my dashboard now. I can access the server via ssh
June 16, 20224 yr Community Expert Have you tried simply pressing enter with user=root and password blank? As part of tightening security it is now mandatory to have a password on the root user.
June 16, 20224 yr Community Expert Solution Do the recovery password procedure anyway, it should ask you to create one after that: https://wiki.unraid.net/Manual/Troubleshooting#Lost_root_Password
June 16, 20224 yr Author Thank you both, i ended up doing a passwd and creating a password that way, worked fine after that.

Not sure what the issue was, but keep in mind that the password you set by running "passwd" will not persist across reboots. It sounds like you have access to the webgui now, so be sure to go to the Users page and set a password for root using the webgui. Changes mae there will persist.
