I don't think so, for me it looks like a wrong username or password.

The 'Keyboard-interactive authentication refused' seems not to be an error but a information from putty.
A successful connect looks like:

If I use a wrong password in the command line, it looks like your output:

Can you try to login manually with your crendentials (plink -ssh USERNAME@IPADDRESS)? Are there any special characters in your password? For testing purposes try a simple password.
