Hello @diicasses !

From what OS and with what program are you trying to get into OctoPi via SSH?

You might want to search for similar topics, and see if this applies to you:

Can't SSH even though password is correct

How are you trying to SSH - what software/command? By default windows tries to use the same username for your PC to access the Pi, which obviously doesn't work. You have to make sure to specify ssh pi@<the IP> to make that work.

I am using windows / with putty. I changed the password initially inside of the octopi command with a keyboard from the terminal. I have a lot of experience with Linux and have a few servers for other things which use more complex ssh routing like tunnels or auths. So this is baffling me why it’s not working.

My password works to login from terminal.

Putty ask me to type in my username / password and they’re both correct . But permission denied

What keyboard layout do you have configured on your Windows machine?

English US QWERTY

I figured it out. I went into sudo raspi-config

changed localization to US keyboard

it was making my @@ to "" in side the terminal

Thanks for the help
