Before go into the deep: be sure your system is fully upgraded, to check:
open a Terminal from the menu Applications->Accessories->Terminal and type:

sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get clean all
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get clean all
sud apt-get autoremove

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.

Hope this helps

Can you update your local pc...?
If you are in trouble on your local pc password, please press CTRL+ALT+F2 and open a virtual terminal make login with your user and password and try to fully upgrade your system. Type the above commands.

Restart Ubuntu then retry.

If this don't solve you must check (copy and paste here) the remote /etc/ssh/sshd_config file.

Hope this helps
