Hi @allwebtuts
So the Console works, but SSH does not work? Then log into the Console and unblock port 22 (or disable your firewall sudo ufw disable)
again same got this message in console footer - Server disconnected (code: 1006)
If it’s less than 48 hours ago, then wait.
But you might want to help support a bit, by actually writing what you’ve tried and write the error code from the Console.
Otherwise it’s going to be much more difficult for support to help you.
trying from my side built-in droplet not working properly :-(
The DigitalOcean Console won’t show the password as you type it in, so if you’re not seeing anything show up when entering the password, this is normal. Simply type it in and hit enter. There’s not a way to copy and paste, so typing it in is the only way.
If you’ve enabled SSH Keys on your Droplet, you may not be able to use Console as the root user is not setup with a password, thus attempting to login through Console will fail.
You can try to contact support and see if they can help, though from my last conversation with them, they do not have any way to access your Droplet, thus they can’t login and clear the block. This is even more so true if you’re using SSH keys as they don’t have your private key to use for authenticating with your public key.
use Built-in Droplet Console
and allow port 22 and ssh in the firewall
sudo ufw allow ssh
sudo ufw allow 22

If it’s the same problem, meaning you have locked yourself out, then open port 22 or disable the firewall completely.
Have a look at FirewallD:

Or iptables:

Hi @Fz94
Unless it’s something under DigitalOcean’s (DO) control, meaning physical servers, network, power and the like, then do not expect DO to fix anything for you.
This is not a managed service, so you are solely responsible for maintaining and configuring your server/droplet.
And DO does not have access to your droplet.
If you have similar problem as allwebtuts, but with a different OS, then please create another thread, so we don’t divert from the original post.
