I've tried to reboot my server from HDD, however, in 'Tasks' section I see error message with the following comment: 'Server does not ping after reboot'.
This is probably why the server was been put into rescue mode.
It could be a simple issue like : In the KS Manager you instructed that KS should check you server (with a regular ping) and you blocked this ping (firewall) on your server. KS 'thinks' you server is down, and reboots it into rescue mode.
Or, worse, your drive died, so the OS died, so the server did't reply anymore, so it was put in rescue mode.
Right now, you can't do this :

You should read this FIRST (you are gona need it) :
https://forum.kimsufi.com/showthread...ans-le-manager (I didn't find a English version, but I guess it exists).
The basics :
Generate a public and private key.
The private key should be on your PC (MAC, whatever).
The public key goes to he Manager (see the tutorail where to put it).
Reboot your server (into rescue mode) again from the Manager.
Use your SSH client (Putty on a PC, or the native SSH client on a MAC), and instruct it to uses your private key : you can login into your server without entering a (root) password !!!!
Only after that you'll be ready for
the real question : finding out why your server was been put into rescue mode.
Do a hardware check.
SAVE your data.
When all is done, and your server is up again, booted from YOUR hard disk, change the setup your SSH service so it uses the public key. You will never ever need the root password again - you might as well forget it. USE your private key to login. You be save, for ever. You don't need to receive the mail any more.
This is how modern OS's are accessed today ..... "password auth" usage has been ditched a long time ago.
KS, when delivering your server, send you a mail. The (root) password in this mail should be used only ones ....
