    I feel your pain. had the same recently. disallowed passwords and only allowed ssh keys. then I had to reinstall my computer and generate a new private key. lucky for me, my hosting provider had a terminal in the browser that did allow password access through their secured portal. phew!

    @kanduvisla yep, it is! Linux doesn't hold your hand. It is possible to revert it fairly easily though.
