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_keys file. If the key is not this file you can add it and then try to access the droplet again.

Hope this helps!

Regards,
Alex
