Set PasswordAuthentication to no, now can't log in on Linode server

  • 772

I was following this tutorial trying to set up keys so I can log in without a password http://linux-sxs.org/networking/openssh.putty.html

Problem is, I followed his instructions except, I generated the key locally, and unless you did exactly as he said, you lock yourself out, which I did (had the "oh crap" moment after I d/c). Now I'm locked out. Is there any way I can backdoor into the server to undo what I did or do I have to start over?

linux ubuntu linode

    You can use the Linode Control Panel. You should be able to access the server with Lish in order to edit the SSH server's configuration.
