Question
Unable to access console or set up SFTP connection
Everything I do leads back to the password being incorrect. VNC asks for a login password but does not let me use my root password that was just emailed to me. When attempting to set up SFTP connection with filezilla I get a repeated exit code 1 which indicates my password is wrong. What am I missing here?

Have you attempted to log in via an ssh client like PuTTY? There are a few things to note with a new droplet.
Thank you for your help!! I am on a mac and new to ssh but I was able to log in with terminal and reset the password. No more exit codes on filezilla! :)
I had the same issue. It’s a bug related to droplet setup (That’s what the support guy said). DO suggested to destroy and rebuild a new droplet. It worked for me. But after the first glitch, everything else is really awesome :D
Noticed a lot of similar behavior recently with fresh droplets. I’m assuming the hypervisor is having issues.
