I got scammed?! The VPS root,pass,hostname doesn't work on putty....
so basically I just bought the VPS from the digitalocean, and they send me the root, ip , password when I enter it at putty, whenever I put the password it says “Access denied” they’re giving my wrong passwords.

When setting it up did you deny remote access to the root account?
Are you sure you copy/pasted the password correctly? I just spun up a new VPS (new customer) and everything is working just fine. Worst case, go to your Droplet’s control panel and click reset root password.
