I am trying to create a git repository on Assembla (assemblyla.com) and I am having trouble creating the first "push". I am pretty unaware of git, but was previously successfully ported to the github repository. I am using git on Windows Vista. When I run git bash from the appropriate directory and press "git push", I get:
The authenticity of host 'git.assembla.com (64.250.188.42)' can't be established. RSA fingerprint is 31:06:...(omitted)...:07:e6. Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?
Entering "yes" does not fit, it does not accept a passphrase.
I know this has something to do with SSH keys, but I can't figure out what might be wrong with mine. My git name and email address on my local computer are the same as the names I entered in Assembla, and I tried to create a new SSH key and load the id_rsa.pub file into Assembla without any consequences.

As far as I can tell, none of the suggestions raised by the administrator in the last message applies. 1 and 2 should not be applied because it is a vanilla account on the site and I have not changed any settings. 3, 4, and 5 I suppose I did. 6 I did, although I deleted the line "GSSAPIAuthentication" because it generated an additional error message.
NB. I have another open-ended question about StackOverflow regarding Git. This question is not related to another Windows machine. I did not leave my other question.
Edit:
