But if you did what I did then you would not have an xvda1 that is
an extended partition with an xvda5 inside it, so you must have done

Here's an asciicast I just made of me installing Ubuntu 14.04
i686 on the same host that you're on:
https://asciinema.org/a/ckiwp5sm75kbll77wj3r23myt
I watched the asciicast and what you did is pretty well what I did. I mentioned this above. I am happy to do another
install deleting the
partitions and doing exactly what you did.
I think you should try that, but it would be nice to know which
option you chose so that I can do that myself and see if I can make
it still work for people anyway.
I tried to ssh to the IP address and received an
instant 'connection
refused'. It did not respond to ping.
The strange thing is that I just tried again, received a response to
ping and to ssh:
$ ssh zaphod(a)85.119.83.139
zaphod(a)85.119.83.139's password:
Permission denied, please try again.
I typed in the password very carefully three times and checked that
the caps lock were not on.
You realise that your rescue VM is still running, right? So that is
what is sitting on your IP address, and the only user account on it
is called "user" and has a randomly-generated password. So that
would explain why it pings and does not let you log in.
Cheers,
Andy
