Question
Can not log into my droplet via console(web-based console)

Hi, everyone. I got a problem about logging into my droplet(ubuntu 16.04).
I get emailed default pwd for the Droplets. In web-based console I enter the pwd that was emailed to me. I get asked to create a new pwd, and it shows “(current) UNIX password: “. After typing the new pwd, it doesn’t show “Enter new UNIX password:” or “Retype new UNIX password:” instead of showing “xxxxx login: “.
How to do fix that? thanks.

Try again following these exact steps:
- Create Droplet
- Get password from email, for example: abcd1234
- Go to web console
- At
(dropletname) login:prompt, type in login username: root Password:type in password from email: abcd1234(Current) UNIX password:CONFIRM password from email, type in: abcd1234Enter new UNIX password:Type in a new password: NewPasswordRetype new UNIX password:CONFIRM new password: NewPassword
I have got still a problem with some specific characters. I cannot type correctly “|” sign (in ascii table on 124 position) - it is typed as a “>”
That tutorial does not tell us what the user log-in is or where to find it
