Hi all, i have a issue when installing proxmox on my local network. Every time i install Proxmox and go to the web gui my set root password isn't working. My setup isn't connected to the internet and i m using the PAM authentication. SSH isn't working as well. Thx for the help in advance!
Do you mean that you see the SSH prompt, you then enter
root, then the password, and then it gets denied?Or do you have no SSH connection at all.
Try setting a password, with NO special, foreign or Unicode characters. Also no spaces. You may be using some different/foreign keyboard/setting, from the time of installation vs the time of entry later. Show the password while you enter them, to confirm which actual password you are entering.

I used a German Keyboard and a exclamation mark in my password, i will reinstall proxmox and try without it.
Likely, this is the cause, as during installation, you may actually not know what is being set as your password. As I said "Show" the password. If you're unable to do this. Try setting a password with numbers only, this is "usually" universal amongst keyboards.
