having trouble connecting to my RunPod via SSH

Hello everyone! I'm having trouble connecting to my RunPod via SSH. I've uploaded my public key in the RunPod settings, but I'm still getting "Permission denied" when I try to connect using:

ssh -i ~/.ssh/runpod_key -p 13241 root@411.11.1111111

I've tried:
- Generating a new SSH key
- Updating the public key in RunPod settings
- Restarting the pod
- Checking key permissions on my machine

The server sees my key but rejects it, then falls back to password auth. I've even tried common default passwords.

I'm setting up a LLM for a telegram bot. Can anyone help me figure out how to get SSH access working? Thanks!
