contribute

I have been tasked with administering several sites through Contribute. The previous administrator has since left and his domain account was removed. I believe I had been set up as an additional admin on these sites previously. However, when I attempt to create a connection through "My Connections" in Contribute using SFTP and my credentials, I get the following error:

enter image description here

I have verified that I have read/write access to these sites through FTP.

How can I take control of these sites through Contribute so that I can start administering them? Is this related to the removal of the previous admin's account?
