A VPS provider has access to *everything* on your virtual machines,
regardless of what password you set or whether you use full-disk
encryption or not. There is nothing you can do about it, except for not
using a VPS provider.
The only thing that is secure is when you have a physical machine that
only you have physical access and root access to. The only exception is
perhaps a colocated physical machine on which you yourself configured
TPM in such a way that it only boots from a trusted OS image.
