Since about 8 hours ago I am unable to ssh into my server. This was working fine until it just stopped. I tried to reset the root password and am allowed to reset it. But after I try to login using the new password from the console, the vm will not let me in. I then spun up a new vm from a snapshot of the previous one, this time with ssh key enabled - still no luck. Cannot login even with the ssh key. Any thoughts/ideas would be great.
