| Enable password authentication in cPanel under the Security center. Or, generate the key in PuTTY first using PuTTYGen(the key generated by WHM is not compatible I do not believe)

| You also need pageant for use with putty & key-based authentication.

| Putty stores keys in a different format but you can also convert the key generated with WHM with puttygen.
pageant makes it easier for using multiple keys with multiple servers but it is not required.
This sounds like the sshd service is not running or your firewall is blocking connections. You will probably need physical access to fix the issue.
This issue likely wasn't caused by setting up key auth for the root user.
Could you detail exactly what you did to your server to enable key auth?

| Try clearing your iptables and doing a safe sshd start..
Once you have root then you can correct your configuration errors, and iptables. as it sounds like either your iptables is blocking your connections or your sshd is not starting.
