I have created a new droplet, I got the root access to it, after I SSH and type the root password, I’m being forced to enter a new password, after that the connection closes and the new password is not saved!! I don’t know what is exactly the problem.

Hey all,
I’ll suggest using the Recovery Console. Here is a link to the documentation:
https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/droplets/how-to/recovery/recovery-console/
In there you shouldn’t experience the Connection closed issue.
Yes I have the same problem, ssh disconect when I try change password. The console droplet not work. Don´t try work with Digital Ocean , I test and have lost , lost and lost my time, with simple trobles, simple tasks, that you have , you need, spend a lot of time for fix. And Digital Ocean saller one product like 512mb that don´’t work for one simple blog wordpress. If you like spend your time for nothing… go ahead…
DigitalOcean now has become a liability for us as a company. We have a multi-instance architecture and due to their random-at-will changes it starting to affect our ability to run our business. We need to be able to spin-up new instances in hours and now we stuck with this rubbish. It takes time, research and lost productivity.
