I don't care about the configuration or preserving anything. How can I
restore SSH configuration to be exactly like it would be after a new
installation of openSUSE?

ssh-keygen  as root.


That still does not generate the SSH fingerprint, like it does with a
fresh configuration.

Also, I still have the original issue which is when I try to SCP files
to other machines it fails with the error:

command-line: line 0: bad configuration option: passwordprompt
