Hi, I am trying to access my droplet. I know my password, but it doesn’t work. I can enter into my WordPress and customize it. Even if I reset the password for the droplet. it still says the password is wrong. So what I can do to enter in my droplet? I read somewhere that some Users had a similar problem. It doesn’t help to reset the password. I already tried that. I need to enter into my droplet because I need to do a redirection from non www to www. Thank you in advance.

Hi @neverdevelopment,
It’s possible you have PasswordAuthentication turned off. You can use the Recovery Console to enter your Droplet :
https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/droplets/how-to/recovery/recovery-console/
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.
Check the doc page on how to enter your Droplet. Once inside, open
/etc/ssh/sshd_configinside, find the linePasswordAuthentication Noand change it toPasswordAuthentication Yes. There might be a # before PasswordAuthentication, be sure to remove it. Once that’s done, save the file, exit and restart your sshd serviceservice sshd restart
