server is indeed online and all websites and services are working perfect. its just this the login issue that's bothering me. my provider contabo does have a rescue mode but they are asking me to do it but i don't know how. also as i mentioned i cannot login to ssh as normal root.
hey peter, yes i did try it will cell network on multiple devices it all points to unable to connect or connection refused error messages. i tried to login with port 8443 and 8880 but no luck.
