Root problem

[granite magnet]

Hello everyone, I have a professional cloud server.
I need to run a Python site on it, but I don't have access to sudo or pip, and I don't have the root password.
Do you have any ideas to help me out?
Resetting the root password, etc...

What do you mean by "professional cloud server"? Is this a VPS, Public/Private Cloud (also similar to VPS/VDS), Dedicated server?

By default most of the Distro's ship on Install with their Distribution name as the Username, "Debian", "Ubuntu", etc.

You can usually type sudo su and gain root shell.

You can also enable root user from SSH Config file directly, (Most distro's have it under /etc/ssh/sshd_config

You need root shell to change the password to root first, so I would say just use command sudo su then passwd root and change the password.

i have this offer with python include but i can use sudo / su / pip in the terminal, with a ssh connection

Oh I see, yeah these probably do not have root access due to being a shared hosting space, if you're unable to change any sort of Root password or enable root in SSH configuration (if available), then I believe this would be the case and it would be impossible for something like this.

I don’t understand why Python is mentioned in the offer if I don’t have access to pip or the necessary tools to run my Python site. It makes using Python quite limited. Do you know how to work around this restriction, or should I consider another solution to host my site?

Has you tried contact their support?

[granite magnet]

Yes, I called them. But their automatic messaging does not give me any advice or put me in touch with an advisor.

You can't run any Django app with this offer. You just can run Python CGI scripts (or Perl)

yeah, THAT is sorry 😭
