Tencent Ubuntu Username

Tencent Ubuntu Username

When using a Tencent Ubuntu image, the default username is ubuntu, not root:

1. SSH with correct username — Use ubuntu@your-vps-ip instead of root@your-vps-ip. The username is shown on the VPS Access tab.
2. Example SSH command — ssh ubuntu@203.0.113.1
3. Switch to root after login — Once logged in, use sudo -i or sudo su - to switch to root.
4. Check /etc/ssh/sshd_config — Tencent images often disable root login by default. Edit PermitRootLogin if needed.

Note: This applies to Tencent Ubuntu images. Other providers may use different default usernames.
