# How do I connect to my server with SSH?

https://www.seturack.com/en/knowledgebase/article/how-to-connect-with-ssh

1. In the panel, open **My servers** and click your server.
2. On the **Overview** tab, find the **IP Address** and **Username** rows and the **Password** row below them. The buttons on that row show or copy the password.
3. Open a terminal on your computer. Use PowerShell on Windows and Terminal on macOS or Linux.
4. Type this command, using your own values from the **Username** and **IP Address** rows: `ssh root@203.0.113.5`
5. The first time, you are asked about the server's fingerprint. Type `yes` and press Enter.
6. Paste the password and press Enter. Nothing appears on screen as you type it, which is normal.

## Two rows called Password

On servers with a one-click app, the page shows another **Password** row near the top, right under **Login**. That one is for logging in to the app. For SSH, use the **Password** row under **Username**.

## If you forgot the password

Use the **Reset Root Password** tool on the **Management** tab. The new password usually works right away. If the screen says it takes effect at the next boot, restart the server once.

## Using an SSH key instead

Add your public key with the **SSH Keys** tool on the **Management** tab. The key becomes active the next time the server boots.

## If you can't connect

- Check on the **Overview** tab that the server is running.
- Servers with a one-click app run fail2ban. If you enter the wrong password several times in a row, your IP address is blocked for a while. Wait a bit or try from another network.
- To reach the server from your browser, use the **VNC Console** tool on the **Management** tab.
