Hi, I downloaded the “Fedora 37: QEMU image for x86_64” from Fedora Server | The Fedora Project
And I’m trying to ssh/ login with Cockpit, but I cannot figure out the root password.
I have tried:
root:root
root:
fedora:fedora
fedora:

On initial boot you get the opportunity to do some configurations, including setting the timezone, defining the root password and to create the first user on the system.

If we are not talking about cloud images, on first boot you should see the initial setup

However it is a good choice to let it disabled and use a different user that can use sudo.
