Hi there @transat,

During the Droplet creation, you are asked on whether you would like to authenticate with an SSH key or a password.

The username for all new Droplets is root.

For more information on how to create a new Droplet you can take a look at the official documentation here:

https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/droplets/how-to/create/

Then once the Droplet is up and running, rather than using the web console, I would recommend using SSH to access it, you can follow the steps on how to do that here:

Hope that this helps.
Regards,
Bobby
