Finding the Password for Vagrant User in CentOS

If you are wondering what the password for the Vagrant user in CentOS is, then you might be surprised to know that by default, there is no specific password set for the Vagrant user in CentOS. This is because Vagrant uses SSH keys for authentication, making password authentication unnecessary. Instead, when you interact with your Vagrant box, you use the 'vagrant' user along with the Vagrant SSH private key.

To login to your Vagrant box, you can use the command:

vagrant ssh

This will automatically log you in as the 'vagrant' user without requiring a password. If you need to perform tasks that require root privileges, you can use the command:

sudo su -

and then enter your user password which is usually 'vagrant'.

It is important to note that this approach is set by default by Vagrant for security reasons. However, if you still want to set a password for the 'vagrant' user, you can do so by running the command:

sudo passwd vagrant

and follow the instructions to set a password of your choice.
