This situation can be solved by these ways:

2. Specify Host/IdentityFile pair in /home/USER/.ssh/config .

IdentityFile /home/USER/.ssh/id_rsa

Hold apple + s down after you hear the chime.
When you get text prompt enter in these terminal commands to create a brand new admin account (hitting return after each line):
