Permission denied (publickey)

Posted on January 2, 2020

Yesterday i was connected to my droplet via SSH as usual, doing my work. Then i has issues with zsh so i removed it to use the default console:

sudo apt-get --purge remove zsh

Then I exited and now I can’t connect anymore.

Via SSH I get the “permission denied” error. Via web console it looks like the login worked (I see the welcome screen for a second), and then it goes back to the login screen again.

Right now i have no way to log in. I tried re-adding the SSH key via dashboard and it says that the SSH key is already installed, so that’s not the problem (but i knew it).

I believe that after removing zsh now i don’t have a default shell.

What could I do??
