If you get rejected using a telnet client (as opposed to access denied with
the wrong passsword) we've seen this problem on our RaQ3's.

It happens if the inet daemon falls over - you may find that POP3 doesn't
work either. The only simple solution that we found was to reboot. I know
that normally you would never need to do this on a Linux box as you can
normally resolve any issue by restarting services, but if you cannot get in,
you cannot restart them. Simply unchecking the services in the Control Panel
won't resolve this.

If after a reboot you still cannot gain access then you're going to need to
get a terminal plugged into the serial port on the back.
