Use OVH KVM mode to manage your server even if your server has a problem

If you have purchased a VPS at OVH, know that there is a mode called KVM that can be used when your VPS no longer boots.
In fact, usually you manage your VPS or your dedicated server remotely over a SSH connection. That said, if you are blocking with your firewall or your VPS crashes at startup, SSH will not help you.
To repair your VPS in this case, you must be directly in front of the screen of your VPS. For this, use the KVM mode.

To get started, sign in to your OVH account :

  • select "Expert Mode" on the right
  • select your VPS
  • then, click on the "KVM" button

A secure connection will be established to your VPS and you will have access to the screen of your server.

In short, once connected to the server, Linux will ask you for your password. You can use any account.
In our case, we used the root account of the server.
