I forget root password and stop sshd service, after reboot I can’t login to system (as used ssh key auth). How can I start system with single user mode?
Thanks

×Hello, @valentinpo
Have you tried to access your droplet from the console in the control panel? Your console can be accessed via the control panel by clicking on your droplet, then on Access while your droplet is powered on. You should be able to sort the issue from there.
Let me know how it goes.

Yup. But as I told, I have key access only, I have no root password and I need start OS on single user mode, to enable sshd service.
Hello, @valentinpo
You can reset your droplet root password from the control panel and then access the console and tweak the ssh configuration file in order to regain access to your server.
You can also boot into the Recovery ISO:
https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/droplets/resources/recovery-iso/
There you can use the option for the interactive shell /bin/bash
Let me know how it goes.

Will try Recovery ISO, as all other options are not suitable for mine case.
