# Unlocking the root partition on boot

After a boot, the encrypted root partition will have to be unlocked. This is done by accessing the server via SSH with user root on port 2222.

```
ssh root@nachtigall.pub.solar -p2222
```

After connecting, paste the crypt passphrase you can find in the shared keepass. This will disconnect the SSH session right away and the server will keep booting into stage 2.
