Gain access to a Fedora system hosted by DigitalOcean

Hello, I'm a new employee taking over development efforts at my company. Currently we're trying to update our live site with minor changes. GitHub repo has been changed, I've made my way to the system that needs updating. However now 'm having issues gaining root access to the machine. It is possible with DigitalOcean to reset root password, however the machine has ssh restricted to key access only. I'm not sure where to go from here due to inexperience, so any help will be appreciated.

I would first check with previous admin, or their supervisor... A good admin would have kept at a minimum an image of their PC with keys intact... Or the PC is still around somewhere...
Otherwise, you will most likely have to submit some proof of ownership/lease to the hosting company for access...
