I chngaed it, but now when I`m try to log in with this pass and logun “root”, I see that “Login incorrect”. What do I have to do?(

hug me! the year is 2019, yet same old screw-ups are in fashion ¯_(ツ)_/¯ worked like a charm :)

tiene razon la persona que dice que es el lugar indicado es incorrecto. la pantalla da la imprecion de que solo se pone el pasword 1 sola vez y se pone 2 veces.

paso 1 es meter el password que te manda digitalocean al mail

paso 2 repetir en la conzola el mismo password mandado por correo, no se por que pero se repite poner el pasword y eso te manda despues a que pongas ya un nuevo password.

que es el paso 3 repetir el nuevo password y listo.

My fix for this was that I’d been trying to paste the password but the console won’t accept pastes. You have to type the password in manually.
