Check the /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log file for error messages from the ssh daemon. If it's a simple mistyped password you'll see something like this:

Jan 6 12:44:37 imadev sshd[6440]: Failed password for wooledg from 127.0.0.1 port 1283 ssh2

In this case, I suspect it's probably an invalid home directory or shell. But in any event, if you can't find the answer in the log file, then try running the sshd in debug mode:

hpuxbox# /usr/local/sbin/sshd -d -p 2222

putty: connect to hpuxbox using ssh on port 2222 Received on Tue Jan 7 19:03:43 2003
