[SOLVED] issues logging in from console

[MrJake]

So i have 2 hosts in a cluster and all was working fine in my lab. Until.... I decided to change the management network and lost communication with one of the host. So i reconnected to the cluster via the second host and indeed it no longer can talk to the other host.
So when I hook up a monitor and a kb or login via virtual console of my idrac, when I try to login as root it does not work since the session timesout since my root password is 58 character long. So you can imagine it takes me a while to enter the password since I have no way of knowing it by heart. and copy paste is not possible.

What are my work arounds? anyone has a clue how i can login to then fix my network issue?

so to resume my root password is 58 character long and when I enter Login: root then i hit enter it prompts for password and when i hit about 40 characters the terminal resets back to login:

You could temporary change your second host, or any other client to the old network settings so you can SSH into the problem host. You could even direct connect a cable between a laptop and problem host.

You could reset root password to something less lengthy: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Root_Password_Reset
