Type yes to accept the host fingerprint and paste your initial root password.

1. Download PuTTY from putty.org.
2. In Host Name (or IP address), enter your public VPS IP. Port: 22.
3. Click Open. Enter login as: root.
4. Paste your password (right-click to paste in PuTTY; characters will remain invisible for security). Press Enter.

3. Connecting from macOS / Linux Terminal

5. Emergency Out-of-Band VNC Console
