Create a new secure SSH key:
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "root-webserv1-key"Hit enter for default location and name.
Hit enter again to skip passphrase creation.
Now you should SSH to server to continue.Does this step disable normal logins or change anything at all? After my first restart my root password isn't working.
I noticed this when I was using Putty. I had to delete the saved session so it could import the new key that was generated.

Delete the session in putty? How did you do that?

I had saved the session details. I selected and deleted it then opened a new SSH session.

This only generates a new certificate and does not do anything else. If your root password is not working, maybe you are typing it in incorrectly, or it's something else entirely, as what @NashBrydges is referring to. If you are using Putty, perhaps it's caching the old public key.
