Question
Not able to ssh to my droplet.
- Posted December 11, 2013
I just bought a droplet but i am not able to ssh into it. I haven’t set up ssh keys yet. I am trying to login as the root user with the provided password but it isn’t connecting.

Are you able to log in to your droplet through the Remote Console? If so, run these commands once you’re in and you should be able to SSH into it: <br> <br><pre>rm /etc/ssh/ssh_host_* <br>/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server</pre>
It is active only.
Login to your DigitalOcean <a href=“https://cloud.digitalocean.com/droplets”>Control Panel</a> and make sure that your droplet’s <code>Status</code> is “Active.”
