Impossible to login root in new LXC

[poka]

I use proxmox Virtual Environment 4.4-12/e71b7a74 since few years without probleme until a few weeks.
In the same environment with another VM started, I can't login to the new LXC I create with the root password I enter in the configuration window (Image01).

When try to connect in ProxMox noVNC console, it's like my password was wrong:


I deleted I build new VM 15 times, with differents keyboards, so my password is the good one!

Does someone ever had the same problem here ?

Of course the solution wa very simple: just access to the container by the host server with: lxc-attach --name 100

 

[jbarriga.fk]

from proxmox cli:
pct enter <ID-LXC>
then change root lxc password

Hi, that works, but it is rather work around than a solution. How can it be fixed permanenty?

Yes, normally it's cause my keyboard layout has changed to something else and my password has a differently mapped character.

I normally have an easy password and once everything is setup as i want i change the password to a more complex one. (just makes it quicker if having to type long passwords all the time)

Or test in the username field to make sure the characters are being typed correctly.
