Windows doesn't have an SSH server built in; which SSH server have you installed?– AndrewJul 26, 2010 at 8:53

Did you create user (and password) for OpenSSH? OpenSSH don't use the same windows users.

thanks ! that solves the problem. it seems to me that openssh add automatically admin users to the passwd file.– achrafJul 26, 2010 at 11:32
Do have physical access to that machine ? Maybe it's due to firewall rules or even sshd configuration.
Except for the case that you don't write the password correctly :> , sshd may be configured to reject any try to connect to the server.
At least in linux, you could see that in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. No idea for windows
