Question

Accessing after creation from image

Posted February 20, 2014 3k views
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.

The root password was probably changed. You can either use SSH keys https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-set-up-ssh-keys--2 instead (this is what I recommend) or simply reset the root password via our control panel.
