How do I login into VPS without knowing its root password?

As the hardware node administrator, to log into a VPS, you may issue the following command:

# vzctl enter 101

To run a command inside a VPS, you may use the vzctl command thusly (using VE 101 and /bin/ls as examples):

# vzctl exec 101 /bin/ls

If you need to ssh into VPS 101 as root, you can add a user with UID=0 to /vz/root/101/etc/passwd and set a password for that user using:

# vzctl exec 101 passwd username
