Permission denied after restarting droplet

Hi there,
After i restarted my droplet i can not access it with command line anymore.

I know am using the correct password because i can access it using DO access menu.

I've reset root password and removed the server from known hosts but the problem goes on.

Any suggestions?

Hi! Have you disabled root ssh login? Try logging in from the Remote Console and checking if that's the case:

grep PermitRootLogin /etc/ssh/sshd_config

If it is set to no (completely disabled) or without-password (SSH keys only), change it to yes and restart SSH so you can log in:

sudo service ssh restart
