If you are using Windows, you can download PuTTY SSH Client: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
1) Once you open PuTTY, type the IP address of your server in the Hostname/IP address field.
2) Assume your SSH is running on port 22 so you can leave the default port there.
3) You will then be prompted for a user/pass. Although not recommended, I’m assuming your system allows root logins so type “root” for the user and enter the password. Nothing will appear when you type a password.
4) You should now be dropped into the system and you can type “reboot”
If you are using Mac OS X, find the “terminal” program and type “ssh -l root ipaddress” and enter your password. Then just type “reboot”
