Hello,
If you are trying to FTP into your droplet; this will not work. The protocol you need to use is SFTP and / or SSH. If you would like to use FTP you would need to setup a FTP service. And like said above, if you created a droplet without an SSH key but with a generated password you will have to change the password the first time you login. You have to use the SSH protocol for this.
