Hi.
I created a new droplet yesterday but still have not received the root password in my email. I tried resetting the root password as well as create that droplet again but still no email. I have received emails from digital ocean before and they do not appear in my spam folder. Any ideas why I’m not receiving my root password?

Did you set up the droplet with a SSH key? If you do this, no password will be sent to you, you SSH in using the key and then run “passwd” to change it to one of your choosing.
If someone from future comes across the same issue here’s how I solved it.
Hope this helps. I’m Using Debian 9 as the OS.
I too experienced this problem with initial creation of the droplet. However, resetting the droplet’s root password triggered the email.
Until the issue is fixed, try this:
Check your email, you should have received the access password. At least I did.
