SSH stores the host key on the machine she tries to connect from. If this
doesn't match the one she gets when re-connecting she should get this kind
of error. In this case you changed the key, so it obviously won't match.
Now, assuming it is a Windows machine she might use putty. Am not sure
where putty stores the keys. May be in the registry? May be the GUI has
got an option to remove the key?

if it is putty she uses.
