cd ~/.ssh

This will generate two files cyberpanel and cyberpanel.pub.

I have cyber panel login access but I am not logging in. After disabling SSH permit root login the login page is not opening. And if you login with putty software, you will not login.

You need to contact your service provider in that case, they can help you recover the access. Not much CyberPanel can do if you don’t have access to CyberPanel
