How to gain access to droplet with a disabled networking interface?

Hi,

this morning I found out that my droplet was hacked. Digital Ocean took the liberty to disable the network interface, effectively blocking my access to the droplet. While I appreciate the necessity of that, it basically means I lost the ability to do anything.

In the message they sent me, they provided a link to access the droplet via a web console. The link is not working, but when I click on the “more” button on the overview page and select the access console, I get a login screen. Problem with that is that I don’t have a root password, as it is secured by an ssh-key.

So. How can I regain access to my droplet? I can’t even access my backups anymore. Any help is appreciated, I am a bit in limbo here…
