Hello, @infoe7395aafd97fa222df76f7
As already mentioned you need to make sure that your web server (Apache, Nginx and etc) is running. You can always check the error logs to see what went wrong. In this way you can know where to look at in order to resolve the issue.

To find out the user names run
cat /etc/passwd. Try runningservice apache2 startorservice nginx startin order to start the webserver.I do know the sudo username… I already changed the root password, and am able to access the droplet console
