Hello.
I pray that you will be able to help me.

I have a machine with Ubuntu 18.4 that was created using a template.
I honestly do not know where I wrote the root password.
To solve the problem I have to start by accessing GRUB.

It turns out that using the console I simply cannot see the boot screen in order to press shift or esc in order to change the password.

I did not realize that you created a container and assumed that you created a VM from a VM template. WIth containers you can always just enter then as root using pct enter. Glad to hear you already fixed it yourself.
