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.

@Yo_D1 I was under the impression that unless they have been disabled the root and admin local users should always function even when remote authentication is responding or down. This article could be related to your issue.

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"

/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

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.
