Reboot doesn’t help me but before that i had install whereami package. So i suspect and remove this package and reboot . It worked perfectly fine again.
I had a similar issue twice with two different droplets. Rebooting the server helped in both cases.
Login to your DigitalOcean dashboard and access the droplet via the Console Access. If you’re able to login there, just enter the following command to reboot
sudo reboot
If you cannot login, then use the Power Cycle button instead.
Hope this helps someone :)
I had the same issue. I had to log in using VNC Connection, which upon login immediately prompts me to reset root password. After that I could connect using ssh without problem. Don’t know whether it’s related to my not using a SSH key to connect. Could be a procedure update on the side of Ubuntu? I suggest digitalocean revise their setup guide for Ubuntu 14.04.
