is not possible to know password about poky-container HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi @mixaz,

There is no password, but the password is in the locked state. So you can't switch to pokyuser using a password.

That being said, even if you could use the password, you still wouldn't be able to use sudo, because pokyuser isn't in the sudoers file.

If you want to perform something as root the easiest way is to probably start your container, and then run the command below in a different shell. CONTAINERID can be retrieved from docker ps or is the name you chose for the container:

docker exec -it --user=root CONTAINERID bash

From that shell you could run apt-get, change the sudoers file, change the password for pokyuser or any other things that require root privileges.

Since no one ever responded to this, and there isn't a clear question, I'm going to close this.
