For example : Hmm - I think you generated a key-pair for SSH that is password=20 protected. So when you starts up ssh, it looks for your private keys,=20 sees, that it needs a password to use them and asks you for that=20 password. When you didn't give the right password for the key or the=20 key alone is not allowed to do an authorisation, then the password=20 authorisation on the machine is used. Please see the documentation of ssh for more details.
