the password option is still available in beowulf, upgrade couldn't have
replaced /etc/ssh/sshd_config without warning, if that already had
"PasswordAuthenticate yes" .

so just use a local console to debug issue.. check /var/log/auth.log,
check if ssh is running, /etc/ssh/sshd_config settings, ~/.ssh
permissions ...

are you loggin in as root perhaps? default option for root logins is
"prohibit-password" in beowulf, meaning access as root with public key
only.. if that's the case, try logging as regular user and then sudo/su
to fix sshd_config and restart ssh daemon.
