Type "reboot" when you are logged in via SSH.

 

This is what i need instructions for

What OS are you using on your end? If windows, grab a copy of putty:

A quick google pulls up this tutorial: http://unixwiz.net/techtips/putty-openssh.html

Gotta admit though that you should have researched this stuff before getting the server, not when you had an emergency.

Hope this helps,

If you are using Windows, you can download PuTTY SSH Client: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/

1) Once you open PuTTY, type the IP address of your server in the Hostname/IP address field.

2) I would imagine you have SSH running on port 22 so you can leave the default port there.

3) You will then be prompted for a user/pass. Although not recommended, I'm assuming your system allows root logins so type "root" for the user and enter the password. Nothing will appear when you type a password.

4) You should now be dropped into the system and you can type "reboot"

If you are using Mac OS X, find the "terminal" program and type "ssh -l root ipaddress" and enter your password. Then just type "reboot"

 

You can try installing Webmin. You can do everything with it

 

That pretty much says it!

 

just type 'shutdown -r now' in putty and ur safe to go.
