It looks like its trying to revert to public key authentication but is 
probably getting stuck because you don't have ssh-agent loaded to 
provide a private key, you could use a passphraseless key or you could 
load up a ssh-agent to provide the key.
I tried your code and the wrong password but it worked anyway simply 
because I have ssh-agent loaded with my pass phrase.
A alternative answer is that your trying to login as root and your 
remote ssh server is in its default configuration which is to deny root 
logins.
