PBX Express - Google Cloud SSH Sudo Credentials

[clearedgetech]

Hello everyone

I used the pbxexpress tool to create an instance in Google Cloud for a pbx. I am using SSH to resize the disk due to limited remaining disk space. When I try to enter the command to resize the partition 'growpart', it prompts me for the [sudo] password for phonesystem.

I tried the admin password for the console login, but that isn't working. I didn't see any information during the install related to the sudo password.

Can anyone provide some insight?

The username I am trying to figure out the password for is 'phonesystem'. I saw the instructions for the password in Azure and did try the console admin password, but that didn't work.

I did the install in Aug 2018. Strangely enough, another install I have on Google Cloud that was done in mid March of 2019 doesn't require a password for the same command. When I open SSH in Google it appears to already have elevated permissions.

Ok...for those that might have a similar problem, I figured it out.

I had to change the user that was connecting via SSH to 'pbxexpress'. For some reason the user that was connected by default was 'phonesystem'.
