How to bypass Public Key SSH Authentication in Linux

How can I ignore my SSH keys when connecting under Linux. Here is shown how it is not used when a new connection is made.

If you use the SSH client on Linux and have many public keys in your .ssh directory, but want to connect to a server using password authentication, SSH will try your public keys and fail.

Using the option -o PubkeyAuthentication=no, you can bypass public key authentication and use your password:

ssh root@example.com -o PubkeyAuthentication=no
