    The default should be no password, or 'ubuntu' - it depends on how the system was deployed and set up by the provider. Since Oracle deployed the instance, Oracle might have a specific way for you to login (they may have set up root or such with a password that's accessible in their cloud panel). NOTICE though: you tagged this as 14.04. Ubuntu 14.04 is long past end of standard support and not supported here, if you're using 14.04 upgrade to 20.04 or 22.04 for continued support here. – Thomas Ward Feb 27 '23 at 17:28
  • the password could be my private or public SSH key? – drMAIN Feb 27 '23 at 17:39
  • No, a password is NOT an SSH key. They would have set the password as a legitimate password if they gave the ubuntu user sudoer access. You need to search Oracle Cloud's documentation for how they configure default accounts on their images, most of the time ubuntu is not set with a password at all for use, and sometimes they're created with the default password I stated, and sometimes a randomly generated password you can only find in the control panel on the Oracle Cloud side of things – Thomas Ward Feb 27 '23 at 17:41
  • ok thank you, and what's the question i have to search in the documentation: a thing just like "password ubuntu"? – drMAIN Feb 27 '23 at 17:44
  • Does this answer your question? Live CD asks for a username and password – karel Feb 28 '23 at 11:05
