Hi @laeldeboue,
The username is always root. That’s like the administrator in windows. As for the password, you are not actually provided with it at first. If you have added an SSH key when creating the server, then you should be able SSH. If you haven’t provided the SSH key, then what you can do is, request a password reset which will be sent to your e-mail account.
To request the password reset, enter your control panel-> go to your project --> Manage the Droplet —> Access —> Request a password reset.
Regards, KDSys
