Google machines have password auth disabled by default.

I would suggest deploying a fresh machine.

Or ask the person who changed the auth configs about what they did.

Here are the steps to check out when you were not able to SSH VM.

  1. Firewall open port 22 and check network tag.
  2. Check CPU utilization to avoid high CPU usage.
  3. SSH key is correct?

You can check the error logs in the serial console.

Likely you'd have to disable OSLogin. Don't use password authentication; it's just insecure ...
GCE permits to provision RSA private keys with project/machine meta data. Only because someone didn't understand how it works, this doesn't justify tearing down the default security measures.
