I can help you. I need your full name and ID number to confirm your account.
yeah post your credentials and the panel link. also if you could add my ssh public key to your hosts i can prevent this from being an issue for you going forward
You need to give me your SSN so that I can verify your account and reset your password ASAP.

Thank you for contacting LowEndSupport. Your waiting time has been doubled.
Here is the procedure to reset your root password:
Log into your VPS control panel and launch the VNC or HTML5 Console. This allows you to see the "screen" during the boot process.
Send a reboot signal via the control panel.
As the VPS starts, immediately click inside the VNC window and tap the Esc or Shift key repeatedly until you see the GRUB Boot Menu.
Use the arrow keys to highlight your kernel and press e to edit.
Find the line that starts with linux or linux16.
Move to the end of that line and add: init=/bin/bash
Note: If the line says ro, change it to rw to ensure you can save your changes.
Press Ctrl + X or F10 to boot.
Once the terminal prompt (#) appears, run the following command:
passwd root
Enter your new password twice. You won't see any characters appearing as you type; this is normal.
To ensure your changes are saved and the system starts correctly:
If you are on CentOS/RHEL, run: touch /.autorelabel
Type: exec /sbin/init or simply reboot the VPS from your control panel.

From the control panel
Reset from the control panel. Easy!!
use sudo
Have you got any other access apart of KVM? Or you trying to hack machine with compromised KVM access?
It sounds like OP has access to KVM only so no control panel access as highly likely server belong to someone else.
