I needed to resize a DB I have, so I created an image and restored from there. I have root login disabled, but I figured I could just login with the old user, however it doesn’t seem to be able to get in.
I also can’t access via console.
Are users not carried over on image creation? or am I doing something wrong.

did you try to reset your root password and then login through the DO console?? <br> <br>try that and see if it works
The root password was probably changed. You can either use SSH keys <a href=“https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-set-up-ssh-keys--2”>https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-set-up-ssh-keys--2</a> instead (this is what I recommend) or simply reset the root password via our control panel.
