Hi, brothers, any one can help me. i bought a VPS with root access in France, am using windows 7 when i connect to VPS throught putty it tell me to enter user, then i enter root, after that it asked me to enter password but then whatever i type from keyboard does not go through as if the the screen freezes.

Putty,  along with other unix/linux like terminals don't echo your password. Just type it in and hit enter, you wont see it in your terminal.

There might be some config options to enable echoing but idk, look through the docs if it's really that important.

Are you sure root login is enabled?

You should also use the hosting sites Support site... or create a trouble-ticket.

What's the root password? Might be a problem with special characters

You may also a separate passwords from the housing provider and ssh. They may have generated a new password different from your host

Customer care just replied and told me the checked the server and that all works well, but that the still do not understand why i have "access denied when i enter password" when tryin to connect to the debian server using putty from window? Below the log screen

You're not entering the password correctly. This is a 100% ID-10T error

Maybe changing function keys will help?

1 way - install VNC server
2 way - allow X11 forwarding for ssh
or you can configure VPS as proxy
