Someone built my droplets using SSH keys. He never gave me access to my droplets before he walked off so I do not know how to login to them
I do not know anything about SSH keys
Can I change my passwords to just passwords and use them instead of SSH keys
Thanks, Diane

Hi there @dianetemple824,
Yes, this is doable. In order to do so, you can follow the step by step instructions from the official documentation here:
https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/droplets/resources/lost-ssh-key/
On another note, if you wish to learn more about SSH keys, I would recommend going through this tutorial here:

Let me know if you have any other questions!
Regards, Bobby
