NimbostratusRoot Account Absent
Hi, Please I need a quick assistance with this. I am working on an LTM/APM box and I cannot find the root account. I only have Admin account and I need Root account to access some CLI functions. Please help me with this, how can I create a root account? Thanks

Root account is created by default. It cannot be deleted. It's default password is "default".

Someone disable it. You can create a new Administrator account with TMSH access and check in CLI "tmsh list sys sshd".
PermitRootLogin no" <<<<<<----------root access is not allow

Thanks everyone. I discovered that this is a native issue with version 11.4 that I had on the box at the time I experienced this. I upgraded to 11.6 and everything was normal...the root account is there by the most basic licensing option.
Thank you
