Can't ssh into my x86 device

Volumio 3. SSH enabled.

I get this error log when i attempt to ssh.

error: Could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
error: Could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
error: Could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key

Did you make any changes to the default password for Volumio?
if yes, restore the default password.

Try disable and enable ssh <ip-address>/dev
Does this solve the problem?

If no,
Connect a monitor and keyboard to your device. Press CTRL + ALT + F1
Login to volumio with the default credentials.
then execute the following commands:

sudo rm -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host*
sudo dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server

If this still doesn’t solve the issue, you need to reflash your SD

Thanks
I’m running Volumio 3 on a laptop (x86).
CTRL + ALT + F1 does nothing.
I can’t get to a command line to execute those commands
