Question
Root password accepted on Lish, but not on Terminal login
I have multiple droplets on DigitalOcean and have never had this problem…
I just “reset root password” on DigitalOcean. Password is still not accepted via Terminal (Terminal is prompting for the password). But password is accepted on Lish. For testing, I disabled UFW via Lish. But could still not login via Terminal.
Any ideas? Debian 11

Hello @reid,
Have you tried using a different ssh-client? You can also reset the current terminal tab window and re-attempt the connection.
If the issue is still persistent, please provide the output which you can extract with the
-vvvargument that Bobby mentioned.Regards
Hi there,
What is the exact error that you get when you try to login?
What I usually do is to add the
-vvvflag so that I could get a more verbose output and see what the problem might be.Feel free to do that and share the output here!
Also is root login enabled in your
sshd_config?Best,
Bobby
