I am afraid I am slightly lost now. To log into the ssh server with a password you need the following:
1. Server running and accepting password logins - some don't accept passwords but only accept rsa/dsa keys - it depends on the setup. 2. You can "see" the server and the ssh port from the machine you are using. Can you see the ssh port from the client? This is the first thing to check. 3. If you are not logging in as root then your server must have an account for the username you are using (ignore anonymous complications for now). What name are you logging in as and is that user on the server? 4. ssh can be set up to only accept logins from specified users, if this is true for your server you need to be in the list otherwise ssh will reject you. 5. If your server has webmin you can administer the ssh server using that. It might make the configuration a bit easier for you. Try https://servername.domain:10000 and see if you get anything. keep persisting.
