Can't log in through SSH but WHM is fine

[maestroc]

A few days ago the server had a RAID issue and the data center had to rebuild the array in order to get the server back online. Once it came up everything seems to be fine except that I can no longer log in via SSH (WHM lets me log in normally). After typing in root as the username I get

Keyboard-interactive authentication prompts from server:
| Password:

and even though I hand type in the same password used for WHM (I did not copy/paste it) it tells me that:

End of keyboard-interactive prompts from server
Access denied

Any help or insight into either of these issues would be greatly appreciated.

Use the verbose switch to get more info on the problem from the ssh command.

ssh -vv [email protected]

You may also want to try WHM's built-in terminal. That may get you to the command line so you can check the logs. Perhaps some part of the sshd config is corrupted.

Are you using PuTTY or another program? A really common issue is users having "Attempt keyboard-interactive authentication" enabled
