Reboot after password reset

Posted on January 16, 2015

Hi,

We reset the root password and now the droplet is not booted, the website is down.

How can I boot it up if I can’t access the server via ssh? Is Power cycle only option?

Thanks.

It just took a long time to come back on :( Had to manually start apache and mysql.

Not very friendly system :(
