Example: If you have AlmaLinux, the username will be almalinux.
----Access root----
If you want root access, you must first log in with the user of your instance's OS (ubuntu, almalinux, freebsd, etc) you must run the command ```sudo su -``` and passwd root to set your root password.
Later in ```nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config``` modify "PermitRootLogin yes"
After this modification, save the file and restart the ssh or sshd system. It differs from OS to OS.
After making the modifications, test the SSH connection with the root user in a new tab.
*We do not recommend root access with a password due to bruteforce attacks.*
