I have an Webspace for years, today I Just bought a very Small v server so I can play with it a Little bit.
Its cool.
I connected to it via ssh.
Installed everything I needed, then I wanted to allow login only with rsa keys and with No Password. Set it Up, it worked. But it was possible to Login also with the Password even when I forbidden that.
I accidently set PermitRootLogin to No.. Yeah... You know what.. now I Cant Access my Server anymore xD Shit.

Have to reinstall the complete Server..

    @kvsm I'm really new with "Server Administration". It is some completly new topic. Never did something like that before. I don't want to Make too much unknown things at the same time. Don't want to accidently Make something wrong again :P

    @Linux That is a good Point. I need the keys to authenticate now. What if I Backup the keys on a secure place? (On an USB Stick or something similar, No Cloud ;) ) would that be enough if I would lost All my Data on my Laptop?

    @GC97 yeah. And if someone ever snatches your keys if they're not pass protected will have access to your server
