I’m a new user and am using Centos 6.6. When it initially asks for the username and password, I don’t know what to put. I tried my username and password for the website but that didn’t work. I also tried root for username and ip address for password

Hello,
Give this a read,
When you create a droplet, the user name, which would be root and password is sent to you via email along with other details like IP address and such relating to the new VPS you have just deployed…
User user name / password in Digital Ocean is different than the VPS you have deployed…
Thanks.
