Once the instance status changes to **Running,** your RELIANOID Enterprise VM is active.

### 10. Access the Instance

**SSH Access:**
 `ssh admin@<EXTERNAL_IP>`

**Web Access:**
 `https://<EXTERNAL_IP>:444`

### 11. Important Note: Root Password Information

The root password for your RELIANOID instance is the Instance ID of the VM.
 You can obtain it in either of the following ways:
 Option 1: From the GCP Console (Manually)

Option 2: Using gcloud Command
 If you have the Google Cloud SDK (gcloud CLI) installed, run:

```
gcloud compute instances describe <INSTANCE_NAME> --zone=<ZONE> --format='get(id)'
```

The numeric ID returned by this command is your **root password.**
