Beloa is the sshd_config file...Please help..

# This is the sshd server system-wide configuration file. See
# sshd_config(5) for more information.

# This sshd was compiled with PATH=/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin

# The strategy used for options in the default sshd_config shipped with
# OpenSSH is to specify options with their default value where
# possible, but leave them commented. Uncommented options change a
# default value.

Is there a question in here someplace?

You have UsePAM set to "yes", that could potentially override a lot of the authentication settings in sshd_config, depending on what the various PAM policies are. It could be that your PAM configuration does not allow logins with weak passwords, or something like that...

Also, "PasswordAuthentication yes" is the default. You do not need to add that extra, uncommented line saying the same thing. All the commented-out settings in sshd_config are the defaults. Only remove the comments if you change their value (or add the statement again, with the new value, if you don't want to alter the original).

tried that..but still cannot login..
