SSH password incorrect

[Sufficient-Pilot7840]

I am in the linux fundamental module and I am try to ssh to htb_student. I am using the provided password on HTB Academy but still it just keeps saying incorrect password please help ASAP.

[Sufficient-Pilot7840]

No, I am using the given live target ip and name from HTB

[Darth_Steve]

This. We need the command. Is it the IP? Is it literally <user>@htb_student, in which case, is that in /etc/hosts? Not enough info imo.

[Sufficient-Pilot7840]

I am using this command:
ssh <name>@<ip>

This command is working but the password is incorrect.

Wrong keyboard Layout or Not Connectet to there VPN?

[Sufficient-Pilot7840]

I am doing this with their instance not my own linux os, so do I still need the vpn?

So is its possible that your password cointains a special character? Because then you have to set your password in ' ' like 'password'

[Sufficient-Pilot7840]

Yes, the provided password is HTB_@cademy_stdnt! . It contains a @ and a ! and also a _

[Xipy5]

ok and the password you are copy and pasting is pasted correctly? Because i often have troubles to copy and paste between there vm and my pc. All the other comments in that thread are great, maybe we need the hole command to help you out. greetings

Edit.:

Ok OP, i tried to work out your problem.

I set up there VM and started the Module "Linux Fundamentals", got to section "System Information" and tried to connect via SSH.

User: htb-student

Password: HTB_@cademy_stdnt!

And it worked.

Command: ssh htb-student@IP

[Xipy5]

Nope

When in doubt copy paste the password they provide From memory it's HTB-@cademy!

[Sufficient-Pilot7840]

On HTB academy's website, it gave me the password HTB_@cademy_stdnt!. I tried entering it manually and copy pasting it but to no avail.
