@travisdh1 I'm totally shocked... not a single hit for root as the login name!

I know right 😕

When I first started here, the website was hosted on a Windows Server VPS, so the administrator at least makes a little sense.

Also, remote root login (the only one available because it's a VPS) is key based. So go ahead and try logging in as root with a password.

Ha we can't log in with root at all over SSH.

While it's very tempting to do just that, the only user the system started with was root. If I have to burn it all down, I need some way to access the thing.

Ah ic. Do you not have console access?

I do, but the only user on the system was created after the OS/cPanel was installed. So if I have to nuke it from orbit, I kinda need that access.
