If you want to reboot your server in rescue mode:<\/p>

  1. Login to your client area<\/a>.<\/li>
  2. Choose your server from the Services list.<\/li>
  3. Click the Power button and select Netboot tab, then Choose Rescue and from Rescue Available select rescue64-pro.<\/li>
  4. Click Boot Now, then use SSH to connect to your server on rescue mode.<\/li>
  5. The reboot will generate temporary access codes (password) for the Rescue Mode session. It will be sent to your email.<\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
