EmployeeCreating local users when using Remote Authentication and unavailable login
The Remote Authentication is unavailable, so I can't login.
How to enable root login as local mode?
Hi Yo_D1 ,
Try to Reset it from Single user mode during booting up.

Thx. I found I didn't mount the /dev/mapper/xxxx-xxx-xxxx-xx._config .
After mounted it to /sysroot/config , then I can execute "passwd root"
- Yo_D1
/config not mounted cause that error.
Use "mount -o remount,rw /dev/mapper/vg--db--vda-set.1.xxxx /sysroot/xxx " --"chroot /sysroot"
Then "passwd root" is ok. But after reset password and login , still failed.
root can login from local.
Seems reset the root password successfully , but still can't login from console.
I'm trying figure out

Silly question, but did you try to update the password via TMSH?
- tmsh modify auth password root
- tmsh save sys config
- Yo_D1
I didn't because I can't login

Saw your logged in screenshot, but didnt realize you were in single user mode. My bad! Yeah, I dont think all of the correct mounting is done at that point to support TMSH commands. As Paulius suggested, this final target link (https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K35811337) may be what you are after here.
