CLOUD-INIT UNABLE TO LOGIN

[ChrisJM]

Hello,

I have tried a few images, i am currently trying CentOS 7 Generic Image and when it loads up, it will update cloud-init and the os and i cant login via the console even if i change the root password via Cloud-Init within proxmox.

i have also disabled these in the cloud.conf

ssh_pwauth: True
or
ssh_pwauth: 1

and enabled root login

I have even tried mounting it and chroot to change the root password and still can not get in.

Has anyone else had this issue? if so how did you resolve it?

Does anyone have any ideas on this?

You probably figured it out already, but for anyone else having this issue. You should set lock_passwd: in the /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg to False.
