Rescue Mode: Recovering a Broken VPS

Rescue Mode reboots a KVM VPS into a separate, real Linux environment - not a stripped-down recovery ISO, but a full cloud-init-based OS - while keeping the VPS's own disk completely untouched, attached as a secondary disk you can mount and inspect. Use it to recover from a broken bootloader, a forgotten root password, or a misconfigured fstab that stops the guest from booting normally.

Enabling Rescue Mode from a VPS's own page lets you set a real password for the rescue session - not a shared or system default password - since the panel provisions it fresh via cloud-init the same way a normal VPS's first-boot password is set.

Once booted into rescue, connect over SSH (or the console) using that password. The VPS's real disk is available as a secondary block device, unmounted by default - mount it manually to fix whatever's actually broken (edit /etc/fstab, reset a password inside the real root filesystem with chroot, etc.).

Disabling Rescue Mode boots the VPS back into its own disk normally - nothing about the original disk was ever modified by being in rescue mode, so this is safe to toggle back and forth as many times as needed while troubleshooting.
