Are you using the freeware Tera Term telnet app with the dos exe wrapper
plus windows DLL to provide the ssh functionality?

The password you enter is the password for your account.

If you are using the setup I mentioned at the top, you'll have to
generate a key elsewhere because it doesn't have the functionality.
On your unix box run ssh-keygen. It should leave a identity and
identity.pub in ~/.ssh. Copy those to the installation directory
for the Tera Term software.

When you get to the point where you can do RSA authentication with
your server, the server will send it's public key. If you choose to accept
the key, it is added to this file
