plesk

Hello,

I have a remote CentOS server to which I had SSH access to. Today when I try to log in via SSH I just get Access Denied even though I am using the correct credentials. I have plesk 9 access and so have reset the admin password and tried to SSH using that password but to no avail. I even created a new user with SSH access rights and tried to log in as them but again failed with the same access denied. I have rebooted.

Can anyone offer any advice? There is no file manager in plesk other than for the web domains so I can't get at any system files to see what is going on.

Any advice appreciated.
