You don‘t need to reset the password of the root-account. You can upload your public ssh-key to Hetzner and they will load it into the cloud instance. Ghis will allow you to access the machine via ssh passwordless.
(It is an security risk to use password authentication for ssh on any machine that is connected to the internet.)
It requires a public IP to ssh into the machine, and public IP is not free. The point of this blog was to ssh into the machine without the use of public IP to reduce cost. We just needed a way to somehow get into the machine and install Tailscale so that we could connect the machine to our Tailscale network and ssh using that. That is the reason I used the password authentication method.
However, I missed a step where we needed to disable all root access and password based access after installing Tailscale. This will help us tackle that security risk. Thanks for bringing it to my notice.
