Did you try:
net helpmsg 1069

This will tell you: The service did not start due to a logon failure.

It may be that the sshd service account password is wrong - or more
likely - the password has expired.  Have a look in the security log of
the machine, and you should see a failure audit.

Check in lusrmgr.msc for the sshd user account and check that the
password is set to never expire, and that it hasn't been
disabled/locked out.
