Question
SSH Asking for root password when SSH Key associated
Hi, i’m new at DigitalOcean, and I’m trying to connect via ssh to my first droplet. I associated my ssh key with the droplet, but when I try to connect via ssh, the server asks me a password. What am I doing wrong ?

What SSH client are you using to connect via SSH? Is it PuTTY or something else?
You need to specify the private key on the SSH client.
