Forge Sudo password not working

I have successfully ssh into my server from my console,

I tried to cd into the root/ director and it returned permission denied

cd root/

I then add sudo to the command

sudo cd root/

then I am asked to provide sudo password, I have tried using the sudo password sent to my mail box by forge, incorrect password,

I have tried using the password provided by vultr on my server info page, still incorrect password

I have tried using my ssh passphrase, still incorrect password

What else or where else can I find this password?

The sudo password is the password of the user you logged in with. That is if that user exists in the sudoer file.

I suggest you run sudu su to become the root user then run the cd /root. Then it depends on how the system is set up if you are allowed to become root.
