You need to look carefully at /etc/sshd.config (or wherever it is stored in SySE 10) and make sure that password authentication is turned on, and you probably want challenge-response off.
I would only allow ssh2, but thats just me.
While you're editing /etc/ssh/sshd_config do turn ssh1 off, I have had times when turning ssh1 off on the server fixed a "broken" pc that couldn't connect.
