i followed this tutorial step by step, https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/initial-server-setup-with-ubuntu-12-04
and I changed the ssh port to something else but when I ssh it it, it wont work anymore,
I also tried to add it to firewall using the following commands:
$: iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 25000 -j ACCEPT $: iptables-save
but still I can not SSH to my droplet, it wont even ask my username, it just times out

jt, yes I did restart ssh info, I did not have SSH access at all, neither root nor non-root, I deleted the whole droplet, I created it many times, and re did everything…nothing works, I tried on both 12.04 and 14.04 ubuntu
