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.
- Firewall open port 22 and check network tag.
- Check CPU utilization to avoid high CPU usage.
- 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.
