Dear Sir or Madam,
Your server has started in 'Rescue' mode; that means that
core Linux/BSD system was launched on your server through the
network. This is not the system, which is normally installed
on your server, none of your hard disks has been reached.
You can connect yourself in SSH to your (91.121.111.28)server
with the following parameters:
- user: root
- password: xxxxxx
You can now carry out the maintenance actions necessary to
the re-establishment of your server.
For example, you may:
- check and update your files of configuration network,
- check and if required decontaminate your firewall,
- check and update your LILO (or to configure another
Netboot via the network)
- launch a manual checking of your filing system,
- carry out a backup or a recovery of data,
- etc.
If you reckon you've identified the origin of the problem and
wish to start again your server normally, you must configure the
netboot to the hard disk or through an OVH-certified core:

Then reboot your server in soft (avoid to reboot via the Manager).
You will find additional information in our guide:

Kind regards,
OVH Technical support
