I couldn't access ssh of my VPS for the admin, while ssh service couldn't start, I receive this error message when try to restart the service: Waiting for "sshd" to restart "waiting for "sshd" to initialize """""finished. The service "sshd" failed to start with the message: sshd is not running Startup Log: Starting sshd: /etc/ssh/sshd_config line 42: Bad yes/without-password/forced-commands-only/no argument: No [FAILED] sshd has failed. Please contact your system administrator if the service does not automagically recover.
Godaddy support team said this is an administration task that I have to pay for !!! I just want to get access to ssh config file and I'll fix it, but how ?!

  Hey, Since you mentioned this to be a VPS, i *guess* there is no other choice than paying Godaddy !

  It's just to change "NO" argument to "no" !! How I have to pay for their tiny service ?!! Can I restore the file or do something to access the file with their needs ?

  I've just talked with Godaddy support team and asked him specific help to change the argument "No" to "no" and they accepted since I asked them a specific thing, everything working well now :D
