I forgot my digitalocean root password

kritiksah

hello everyone, I used the digital ocean as my VPS provider. and I didn/t setup any ssh key, and I forgot my root id and password.
now I have only one option ie. Reset it.

as you can see this will shut down my server. for temporary bases

My Question :
will aapanel restart itself automatically so I can access my panel and website. if yes "Great"
if no, then. What can I do to restart everything once again?

kritiksah Hello, you need to restart the server to change the server password. Aapanel does some common services by default. It starts automatically by default.

so it mean, it is safe to proceed to restart server ?

kritiksah Shut down MySQL before restarting the server to avoid data loss during the restart process.
