@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
@ WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED! @
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY!
Someone could be eavesdropping on you right now (man-in-the-middle attack)!
It is also possible that a host key has just been changed.
The fingerprint for the ECDSA key sent by the remote host is
SHA256:77ydSU9ntFztbasTwkMk5z6Ke6cippOq2VVjnSbGs48.
Please contact your system administrator.
Add correct host key in C:\Users\Andreas/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of this message.
Offending ECDSA key in C:\Users\Andreas/.ssh/known_hosts:3
ECDSA host key for 192.168.0.21 has changed and you have requested strict checking.
Host key verification failed.

This is just a warning from the ssh client - every time you write a new OS image for Raspberry Pi, it usually causes the systems unique finger print to change, see: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20840012/ssh-remote-host-identification-has-changed

The simplest solution is to delete this file: C:\Users\Andreas/.ssh/known_hosts and try again.
