Permission denied, please try again.
although i can access droplet via droplet console.

Hello!
Can you ssh using the following command bellow? It will give you more verbose output and we will see how exactly is trying to connect. Also please paste the output of the command. In the meantime try to ssh using the old password as well or try to reset it again.
ssh -vvv root@ipaddress

Did you checked your historical emails, because I believe the password should be listed in the setup email.
If you’re still unable to ssh you can try to reset the password from the console. This article should help you to complete the process:

Let me know how it goes.

I found similar problem where the ‘Add SSH Keys’ dialog does not update the ’.ssh/authorizedkeys’ file for root. This must be done manually. However a separate issue is that the DO Console opens a terminal browser window that has a short copy/past buffer (~128bytes). From the terminal window run nano ’.ssh/authorized_keys’ for root, and update the rsa key by repeating copy/paste multiple times until the entire rsa key value is copied
