Hello community !!!
I’ve always had ssh access.
Yesterday I tried to change my root password and during the change I was disconnected, I still had not finished changing the password.
Today I can no longer connect ssh using “Putty” software, now the message “Network Error: Software Caused Connection Abort” appears. I´ve tried to connect with others computers (using “Putty” and “mRemote” softwares) on my local network and appear the same message.
What should I do ?
Thank you!

Hello,
I am facing this same issue, this seem to be error on putty and windows. I try on resources console login. And it is working fine over there.
It is Putty problem
Hello,
As JustSomeTech suggested you could rest your password via your console. You can follow the steps on how to do that here as well:
