Hi there,
Could you provide more details about how you’re trying to access the Droplet? For example:
- Are you using the DigitalOcean web console, SSH, or the CLI (
doctl)? - If using SSH, is your key properly set up and added to the Droplet?
- Are you logged into the correct account or using the correct API token if accessing via the CLI?
On another note, if you’re part of a team, can you confirm that your account role allows you to perform this operation. Admins or owners have full access, but limited roles might block certain actions.
- Bobby
Heya, @yapjiahao
If you’re using the DigitalOcean’s console you can try using a different browser or temporary stop any add-blocker related extensions. As Bobby mentioned if you’re part of a team make sure that your account has the necessary permissions.
You can also try to access the droplet using a ssh-client:

Heya,
Are you logged into the correct account? Additionally, check if you are using the correct API token.
