Hi @andrazarh070,
You’ll need to use the user root. In Linux, the root user is equivalent of an Administrator user on Windows.
Anyway, use the root user with the password that you’ve received on your e-mail. If you want to reset the password again, you can follow this documentation on how it’s done:

Hi there,
You would need to use root as the user name, and then the password that you generated during the creation of the Droplet.
Note that when typing the password nothing will be displayed on the screen for security reasons.
Let me know how it goes! Regards, Bobby
