Initial password for CoreOS?

Posted on January 23, 2015

Hi guys,

Probably a total noob question, but I am having trouble getting my ssh into a new CoreOS droplet. I’m on Mac 10.9, Firefox 35, and just using Terminal

  1. I create my ssh key
  2. I upload public key into digitalocean website
  3. I create a new CoreOS droplet and choose the SSH key i uploaded in (2)
  4. I try to ssh in using [ssh -vT username-from-ssh-creation@droplet IP address

Everything seems to go fine until:

debug1: Found key in /Users/sdiggly/.ssh/known_hosts:2 debug1: ssh_rsa_verify: signature correct debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS received debug1: Roaming not allowed by server debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_REQUEST sent debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT received debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard-interactive debug1: Next authentication method: publickey debug1: Offering RSA public key: /Users/sdiggly/.ssh/id_rsa debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard-interactive debug1: Trying private key: /Users/sdiggly/.ssh/id_dsa debug1: Next authentication method: keyboard-interactive debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard-interactive debug1: Next authentication method: password

I have NO idea what password that is! I didn’t create my ssh key with a password.

Also, when I try to use the virtual console to login, i’m also asked for a password

And finally, I can’t seem to get the single user mode working. I’m not sure if i’m just not fast enough, or what, but I never seem to catch the boot in time to hit “2”

Any ideas?? I’m sure i’m being an idiot here, but I can’t figure out where I’m going wrong

Thank you! sdiggly
