Possible Causes and Solutions:
Check Console Enablement:
First, ensure that your console is enabled on your instance. If the console is not enabled, you may encounter access issues. While such issues are rare, they can arise during debugging. I am using a DigitalOcean server for my backend, and I launched the recovery console from my droplet on my dashboard.
Uncomplicated Firewall (UFW) Configuration:
If you have started the UFW (Uncomplicated Firewall), be aware that by default, UFW blocks all incoming and forwarding traffic while allowing all outbound traffic. This means that anyone trying to access your server won’t be able to connect unless you have specifically opened the required ports.
To allow SSH access, execute the following command in your recovery console:
ufw allow sshTry logging in with SSH again. Remember to replace
sshwith the appropriate service name if you’re using a different port.
