Subject: | password authenticiation problem |
I have installed cygwin on my WindowsXP laptop. When I try to ssh to username AT 127 DOT 0 DOT 0 DOT 1 it won't accept my password. I have changed my password and used the passwd command a few times to try to fix the problem. One curious thing: the prompt says "USERNAME AT LAPTOP". My computer name is LAPTOP but the USERNAME it gives is not the same as the windows account username that I have set. I think it is an old one that used to use. I tried ssh using that username, but it wouldn't work either. I set up a new account with a new username and password and tried it all over again. That woudn't accept the password either. This must be a common problem but I was not able to find it in the archives. I would appreciate any help.
