How to recover password for lxc container?

Question

LXC

I forgot the password from the lxc container raised in proxmox... And I would not want to lose the data that is inside the container :)
Is it possible to reset the password in the container (I suspect that this should not be possible ...) or at least extract data from it (again, I suspect that there should not be such a possibility either).

Answer 1

It turns out that both (reset the password in the container) and the other (get access to the files in the container) are possible ...
The first can be done with a bang with the lxc-attach command:

1. go to the hypervisor console
   
2. using the command lxc-attach -n 200, we connect to the desired container (in my case, the container with the name 200) - we are inside the container
   
3. next passwdand enter a new password for the root user of the container
   

Answer 2

From host PCT enter ID
