Putty SSH Connection: Network Error: Software Caused Connection Abort

Asked by Roger J
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,
As JustSomeTech suggested you could rest your password via your console. You can follow the steps on how to do that here as well:
