I’m done adding the droplet and my domain but I could not login into the server using the ssh key because my key is refused by the server? How can I get the the root password of the server? or do you know why my ssh key is refused by the server?

Hello, @ethanShark
You can reset the root password for your droplet from the control panel. Once you’re logged in go to Droplets --> Click on the Droplet name --> Click on the access tab/menu --> Click the “Reset root password” button
You will receive an email shortly containing the new root password. You can also check this link:

In the meantime you can always access your droplet using the console from the control panel. You can double check that your ssh key is stored/present in the
authorized_keysfile. If the key is not this file you can add it and then try to access the droplet again.Hope this helps!
