When you reset the root password, the Droplet is rebooted. Usually waiting a few minutes for the OS and all the services to start up works. Did you have a firewall configured on your Droplet? It’s possible that the rules were misconfigured on reboot, locking you out. Are you able to log in using the Remote Console in the control panel?
