You could stop the sshd process manually with kill or similar (I use
htop). (Careful though, you don't want to kill your current session,
just the daemon listening for new connections!) Then you can "zap" the
service and start it as normal.

Or you could reboot the host, and (assuming it's in your default
run-level) sshd will start on boot.
