Hi,
I tried to login into my droplet with my root credentials, but it still keeps asking my password. So I tried to reset my root password (recieved the recovery ‘mail’), but it still keeps prompting asking my login.
Kind regards
Glenn

I had same problem, can not login with root password
I tried reset root password many times, but still can not login
Please help me.
I raises a ticket, but no reply from digitalocean
On login after reseting root password, you could be asked to change password.
When you login via SSH with new password, you’ll see something like:
current Password. You need to enter current one again, and after that two times new one.
Hi @gschnieders, by any chance, did you disabled remote login using root? @xMudrii if that’s the case, will a password reset allow him to login using root?
