We need to mount the main disk partition vda2, we use the command

```
mount /dev/vda2 /mnt
```

Done! Next, let’s specify a new root directory for further work.

After execution, you can only use the last command to change the **root** password.

We ask for a new password and repeat it. We see a message that the user’s password has been successfully changed.

Exit recovery mode and reconnect with the new password.
