Hortonworks HDP 3.0 root user password doesn't work

[#1]

Hi,

I tried Hortonworks HDP 3.0 image using oracle virutalbox. But the root/hadoop is not working for SSH access or browser ssh access? Need help in getting correct password or help in resetting it.

Thanks,

Kalyan

@pnkalyan 

Did you ever use it before? The root/hadoop is the initial password on the first login with the root/hadoop combination you are forced to change the password so my suspicion is you initially did change it.

For  reference see: Learning the ropes od the HDP sandbox

Hope that helps

@Shelton thank you actually I did and I thought this is my first time logging I was able to recover the password. Thanks for reply.
