Question
Reset root password: Droplet shutdown
On the Access tab for my droplet, it says:
Clicking Reset Root Password below will immediately shut down your Droplet and set a new root password.
The new root password will be emailed to you within a few minutes. If the email doesn’t arrive or the new password doesn’t work, try using the recovery environment.
Do you wish to proceed?
Will this shut down my live site for good?

Only the person that has set'up the site will know that for sure. Normally it should be back online once the droplet is re'started(if the necessary start'up scripts are in place).
