Need root password

[Baphijmm]

Need root password to be able to configure a static IP address on my zabbix box.

"sudo su" from appliance as ssh'd in demands a password. I recognize that this is the step we're supposed to be taking, logged in as appliance in order to access root, but this simply does not work.

Pressing enter without entering anything qualifies as a failed attempt. "zabbix" is incorrect. "admin" is incorrect.

What is the default root password for Zabbix?

I am able to become a root user on the Zabbix 4.0 appliance environment.

If you are logged in as an appliance user, when you run the sudo command, you will be prompted for the password of the appliance user, so enter the password for the appliance user.

Does anyone know the root password for the appliance? I am trying to test and need to log into the appliance to set the IP address.

First of all, the default user of Zabbix is: Admin, and password is zabbix.
You also can be changed the Admin password in MySQL.

Database: zabbix
Table: users
MariaDB [zabbix]> select * from users;
+--------+-------+--------+---------------+----------------------------------+-----+-----------+------------+-------+---------+------+---------+----------------+------------+---------------+---------------+
| userid | alias | name | surname | passwd | url | autologin | autologout | lang | refresh | type | theme | attempt_failed | attempt_ip | attempt_clock | rows_per_page |
+--------+-------+--------+---------------+----------------------------------+-----+-----------+------------+-------+---------+------+---------+----------------+------------+---------------+---------------+
| 1 | Admin | Zabbix | Administrator | 5fce1b3e34b520afeffb37ce08c7cd66 | | 1 | 0 | en_GB | 30 | 3 | default | 0 | | 0 | 50 |
| 2 | guest | | | d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e | | 0 | 900 | en_GB | 30 | 1 | default | 0 | | 0 | 50 |

Here you use MySQL command to update passwd of alias Admin. Hope it helps

once you are logged in with user appliance creds, run:
appliance@zabbix:~$ sudo passwd root
you will be prompted to enter (and retype) a new password.
after that, login as root with the newly created password.
