SSH Login not working.... HELP! (I'm probably being dumb)

[CPynch]

Hey all, I seem to be having a 'dumb' moment. A colleague configured a 2960X and didn't setup SSH on it. 

I thought I did all the necessary steps, but I seem to be getting a login prompt I can't get past.

do fresh start but check if the SW/R have public key, if have delete it (notice delete the Public Key for only ssh not other public key),
if you have only 1 % that this will effect other service then 
only add new public key (generate new key) and check.

PLEASE NOTIC the PUBLIC KEY IF YOU USE FOR OTHER PROTOCOL, DELELTE IT MAKE BIG ISSUE.
BE CAREFULL FREIND.
