×You go to the control panel, click the droplet, click the menu Destroy, select which installation you want it reset to and click Rebuild.
This will completely delete all data on the server.

May be I am wrong, but the steps you asked to reproduce, it lead me to completely DELETE my droplet. Please elaborate a little more as DESTROY deletes the droplet if you don’t have any snapshots or backups as suggested by @KDSys

Hi @gormdrachmann,
The reply from @hansen is a bit misleading. You don’t need to destroy the droplet, you just need to go the “Destroy” tab and use the Rebuild section from there. In the Rebuild Droplet section, click on the Select an image text box and search for the image you’d like to use. You can use any image in your account, including backups, snapshots, custom images, 1-Click Applications, and base OS distributions we provide.
You can check the following Documentation :

How do you rebuild from 1-Click Application? I’m trying to do this, but I don’t see 1-Click Applications (for WordPress, specifically) – just some Ubuntu images.
Hi @yuvrajsingh1,
If it’s not in that Menu, you’ll need to either spin up a new droplet using the one-click app from our marketplace

Anyway, using WP-CLI is an option as well where you can reset your password from the command line tool.
