security certificates ssh

I just tried to ssh into freebsd server using Putty (pocketputty actually).

I got a connection (sort of) but my Putty device put up the question 
"...unknown certificate.....do you want to trust it..." or words to that 
effect.   Due to  finger problems on the touchscreen I said NO.   OOPs - 
now putty gives me error messages about not being able to connect to 
server.   I think that my FreeBsd box is locking me out (or maybe it is 
the Windows Mobile??

Can anyone tell me how to unlock this situation ?
Presumably if it is FreeBSD locking me out then there is a black mark 
against my mobile's mac address???  Can I find and remedy?
Alternatively, perhaps my mobile device is not accepting the security 
certificate from the server in which case I need the FBSD server to 
issue a different one?

I feel a bit like the guy who left his key inside the car and locked 
himself out..!
Any help please?
Thanks,
Graham/
