I was upgrading FreeBSD on my virtual host, from 10.0 to 11.1. While upgrading from 11.0 to 11.1 I was confronted with a large amount of files that had to be diffed and edited. I tried my best, failed, and now can't login to my server.
Using ssh -vvv I can see the following happening:
OpenSSH_7.3p1, OpenSSL 1.0.2l 25 May 2017
debug1: Reading configuration data /opt/local/etc/ssh/ssh_config
debug2: resolving "xxxx" port 22
debug2: ssh_connect_direct: needpriv 0
debug1: Connecting to xxxx [xxxx] port 22.
debug1: Connection established.
debug1: identity file /Users/ruihpacheco/.ssh/id_rsa type 1
debug1: key_load_public: No such file or directory
debug1: identity file /Users/ruihpacheco/.ssh/id_rsa-cert type -1

debug1: key_load_public: No such file or directory

debug1: key_load_public: No such file or directory
debug1: identity file /Users/ruihpacheco/.ssh/id_ed25519-cert type -1
debug1: Enabling compatibility mode for protocol 2.0
debug1: Local version string SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_7.3
Is there a way to just force FreeBSD to accept whatever factory settings it comes with on 11.1? Basically wipe everything out and let me reconfigure from the start?
Update
My host comes with 10.0 only so a new clean install would involve me upgrading from 10.0 to 11.1 all over again. I'm already at 11.1, I just want it to work.

But I don't know what else is broken. And the file doesn't exist.

During the upgrade on the server freebsd-update alters /etc/ssh/sshd_config on your FreeBSD server. It tries to be smart about it but it has messed up my config more than once. It is a simple text file which is easy to read and correct.

Do you have physical access to host, if so replace /etc/ssh/sshd_config on the disk with a version from a FreeBSD 11.1 installation. That should let you back in - but who knows what else is broken if you did not complete the merge fully.
