Problem with SSH

[quicklyweb]

In whm i enabled the password authentication for ssh for security. Now every time i try to login i get following

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
@ WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED! @
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY!
Someone could be eavesdropping on you right now (man-in-the-middle attack)!
It is also possible that the RSA host key has just been changed.
The fingerprint for the RSA key sent by the remote host is
7e:4b:ec:13:3f:1d:e6:31:70:4b:20:f4:89:df:90:a9.
Please contact your system administrator.
Add correct host key in /root/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of this message.
Offending key in /root/.ssh/known_hosts:3
RSA host key for XXXXXX.XXX has changed and you have requested strict checking.
Host key verification failed.

What was the resolution?

I'm getting a similar issue. Putty says it may be a possible man-in-the-middle attach.

SSH to my other servers are working normally. I dont know why my keys on this one server have been changed.

This may be due to your host name is or ip address is changed or you have recently formatted your server.

Remove the old key and generate new host identification key for the same.

It can normally be dealt with by removing the appropriate entry from within your ~/.ssh/known_hosts file. This is assuming your are using Linux as your local machine. Otherwise, the entry will need to be removed from whever your SSH client keeps them.
