I created a new droplet using “Ruby on Rails on 14.04” and added SSH keys in stead of using root password. When I tried connecting through ssh I got these results :(
$ ssh xxx.xxx.xx.xxx
pc@xxx.xxx.xx.xxx's password: *************
Permission denied, please try again.
pc@xxx.xxx.xx.xxx's password:
Then I tried:
$ ssh root@xxx.xxx.xx.xxx
root@xxx.xxx.xx.xxx's password:
Permission denied, please try again.
root@xxx.xxx.xx.xxx's password:
Then I tried:
$ ssh -i /path/to/.ssh/id_rsa_private_key root@xxx.xxx.xx.xxx
root@xxx.xxx.xx.xxx's password:
Permission denied, please try again.
root@xxx.xxx.xx.xxx's password:
I’m not sure what to do at this point … can you help me?

Nothing at all on the internet could help me solve this. In the end what worked was to take these steps:
1 - Resetting the root password from the Digital Ocean website
2 - logging-in using the console in the Digital Ocean website (it will prompt you to choose a different pass)
3 - edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config
and changing the line PasswordAuthentication no
to PasswordAuthentication yes
4 - service ssh reload
5 - Then I could login from my terminal using ssh root@ipaddress
and inserting the password

This was driving me nuts! NUTS! But this should help you…
BEFORE you try to SSH into server type:
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa
whereid_rsa
is the file with your ssh key (this is the default version so chances are yours is the same. If not, change it.ssh root@xxx.xxx.xxx
