Moved solusvm openvz root password issue

Snickertastic

I had moved all my vps over to new server including the master and now none of the root passwords seem to work I have ticket open with solusvm lets see who can help solve this faster I thank everyone in advanced

Microlinux

vzctl set {ctid} --userpasswd root:{passwd}

Snickertastic

didn't work.
I've done the following which hasn't worked

• Changed it via passwd ssh command in the console
• I've entered the vps through the master and tried it
• I've even tried both above and rebooting the vps with no luck..

I swear today isn't my lucky day and tomorrow isn't looking good neigher

Out of curiosity, do you have direct root access enabled or you trying to enter through substitute user (su) command?

When you say the root passwords don't work, do you mean from the console, i.e. su'ing from the command line or via SSH?

You've probably not got ip forwarding enabled.

I'm not sure what you mean, I wasn't asking you to do anything. I am trying clarify exactly what "none of the root passwords seem to work" means. There are two ways to login, locally and remotely.

Issue has been solved by editing the content in the ifconfig. passwords I ment per openvz vps node not the root password.
