Heya,
In such cases when you can’t access your Droplet, you have 3 options.
- Use the Web Console:
https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/droplets/how-to/connect-with-console/
The Droplet Console is a browser-based way to connect to Droplets. Instead of using ssh in a local terminal, you can use the Droplet Console in your preferred web browser.
- Use the Recovery Console:
https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/droplets/how-to/recovery/recovery-console/
Most users manage their DigitalOcean Droplets using SSH, PuTTY, or a control panel they’ve installed themselves. However, changes to your network or service configuration files could leave you unable to log in remotely using these methods.
The Recovery Console provides out-of-band access and is available regardless of your network settings. It emulates the access you would have if you were sitting down with a keyboard and monitor attached to the actual server. You can use this feature to log in and revert bad settings to regain normal access.
- If nothing works, contact DigitalOcean support.
