Hi,

Are you able to login to the Google Cloud instance via console? Did you have a key for accessing it?

Hello,

You should be able to use the "passwd root" command from the console to configure a new root password. Here's a third-party URL where this is discussed:

Get root password for Google Cloud Engine VM

Thank you.
