Question
Password Authentication does not work during Droplet Creation Process
- Posted on December 27, 2022
- DigitalOcean Droplets
Asked by dcdev
When I create a droplet using AlmaLinux 9, I choose Password for the Authentication Method, input my password, and create the droplet.
But when I login to the droplet, access is denied using the password I created for the droplet. The only way I can login is resetting the root password through the Access control panel for the respective droplet.
I’ve created multiple droplets, using different CPU processors, and different sizes, and the same problem happens every time.
Frustrating to have to reset the droplet root password every time 😭
