Can't change password when making new droplet
I made a droplet today and then I go to log on to it with putty and i enter in root and the password emailed to me. It asks me to put in a new password which I do and then when I hit enter the window just closes out.

you same with me…
have solved it ?
you have to type old (provided by digitalocean) password first. Then it will ask you to type new password and repeat it.
I just created a Centos droplet.
The black window asks for login to which I say root, then I give the long password from the email, which it accepts and says I must change password, and it asks for current UNIX password, so I enter the long password from the email again, which seems to be accepted but the screen goes back to: asking for login again!
HELP
UPDATE: it works fine thru Putty. The problem described above is when using the web-based console thru Chrome: “DigitalOcean Droplet Console”.
