→Setting root Password for Container
# '''vzctl set 101 --userpasswd root:test'''
In this example, we set the root password for Container 101 to "test", and you can log in to the Container via SSH as root and administer it in the same way as you administer a standalone Linux server: install additional software, add users, set up services, and so on. The password will be set inside the Container in the <code>/etc/shadow</code> file in an encrypted form and will not be stored in the Container configuration file. Therefore, if you forget the password, you have to reset it. Note that <code>--userpasswd</code> ignores the <code>--save</code> switch, the password is anyway persistently set for the given Container.
While you can create users and set passwords for them using the <code>vzctl exec</code> or <code>vzctl set</code> commands, it is suggested that you delegate user management to the Container administrator advising him/her of the Container root account password.
