    You may have to delete an older host key that is being stored in your
    registry:

    Open up regedit.
    My Computer -> HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> SimonTatham -> Putty ->
    SshHostKeys
    Delete the key, with the ip adress, associated with the server "test".

    Try restarting Putty and see if the dialogue box pops up, asking you if
    you will accept the "new" key.
