I rebuilded to Ubuntu 16.04.2 x64 and cannot login anymore. I tried login with root
and the pw sent to my email when I created the droplet but it didn’t seem to be the right one.
How do I get back on?

When you rebuilt the droplet, it actually removes everything and installs whatever OS you’ve chosen. When the rebuilt is done, it sends a new root password to you - use that, not the one when you created the droplet initially. EDIT: Unless you’re using SSH-keys, then you don’t receive an email with password.
