The current login method of the server is SSH key-based authentication, I wish to switch it to normal linux login by key in username and password. i understand this is unnecessary, but i have to switch it over. How to do it?

It does ansshto your server but sets the "preferred authentication" to "password", that is: it ignores any public/private keys.

No. It just does an ssh to your server and only for this particular command you will have to supply a password. No configuration whatsoever is changed or stored anywhere. I presume you usually dossh user@hostand get logged in with no questions asked. Right? My suggested command just tellssshto ignore the public/private keys and ask for a password instead.

Look inside of /etc/ssh/sshd_config
change lines
PasswordAuthentication
PubkeyAuthentication
!check other options / lines so you don't lock yourself out. If you want to be sure, post your config file here and ask back beforehand.
If the machine is connected to the internet and the ssh port is accessible, you should take this as a warning that you don't fully understand ssh configuration.
