How to change the SSR (root, t128 and admin) credentials in Mist

Set or change the root password.

There are three users managed in the Cloud Managed SSR, root, t128 and admin. The root user is the the linux root administrator. The t128 is a privileged linux user added for support and out of band management of the SSR device. The admin user is the default administrator user within the SSR and uses the PCLI as a shell.

A “root password” field is provided to the user in the Mist GUI. This is sent to the SSR in cloud config as a sha512crypt hash in the root_password field. The SSR will use this password to update the password for all three users, admin, t128 and root.
