The root password that I was sure was correct doesnt seem to work when I SSH into my server. Does anyone know a way to reset or recover the password?
That section doesn’t say anything about the SSH password for the console. That’s what I need.
Well, can you log in to your HA via GUI ?, if not, you have the Console, attach a keyboard and a monitor , it’s kind of like you lost your key ( to the back door ) use the front or the windows, and solve your SSH ´"issue"
Everything is written down on that Page, everything but your “lost” password ; WHICH you need if you want to login through SSH
So many questions.
How did you install Home Assistant?
Is it really SSH, or is it one of the SSH add-ons?
I installed the Home Assistant operating system on a PC that is dedicated to HA. I used this method - Generic x86-64 - Home Assistant

Or do something like this:
