Can't password-connect with SSH to CentOS7 machine we sent a password packet, error
I'm trying to reach a machine (CentOS7) over SSH with password authentication.
The machine is on a private network off the internet. I tried to connect from a Windows 10 host and from another CentOS7 server (and from VSCode SSH Remote Extension). From the 3 client i'm having a similar error (describe a little below)
It was working perfectly last Friday. The only thing different I have noticed is that at the first connection try SSH throwed "WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED!". So deleted the know_hosts files on both client.
On the target server
- I tried disabling SElinux and reboot
- I have checked that SSHD service was OK
- Restarted the service
- Checked the permission on /dev/tty (like suggested here it is equal to :
crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 5, 0 Jun 28 16:15 /dev/tty - And exec : sudo chown $USER:$USER ~/ -R; sudo chmod o-rwx ~/ -R
None of those tries changed the behavior of the error.
The errors seems to be related to :
admin@XXXXXXXX's password:
debug3: send packet: type 50
debug2: we sent a password packet, wait for reply
debug3: receive packet: type 51
debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password
Permission denied, please try again.
OR
admin@XXXXXXX's password:
debug3: send packet: type 50
debug2: we sent a password packet, wait for reply
debug3: receive packet: type 51
debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password
Permission denied, please try again.
debug3: failed to open file:C:/dev/tty error:3
debug1: read_passphrase: can't open /dev/tty: No such file or directory
Edit 1 :
I checked the /var/log/secure file while doing ssh connection test but nothing is logged. I checked that the port 22 was opened with firewall-cmd I restarted it and the service with it. Still no log and same error message from both client.
Here the output log from the Windows cmd:

A coworker deployed another machine on the same ip. Shouldn't have overlooked the "WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED!" which was indicating exactly the problem.
