The problem is the password reset is not working and I would have to turn off the droplet and boot it from Recovery ISO but I dont have access to command line so I would be billed If I just turned it off from the Control panel. When I created the droplet I put in a password that I remembered and maybe I accidentally mistyped or something so it wont work. How do I fix this? This is really confusing.

I have nothing on my droplet. Should I destroy it?

I was able to reset it. It took a little bit to register.

  Hello,
  
  You can always resize your Droplet to increase the memory:
  
  Please see our tutorial on how to resize Droplets:

  Please note that once you resize to a larger disk, you will no longer be able to resize to a smaller plan. This is because there will be a disk mismatch and we do not currently support shrinking a virtual server’s disk.
