Hi @shrikiec,

Please familiarize yourself with best practices around sharing passwords in public forums, and their security implications. Understanding whether it is acceptable to share sensitive information this way is critical for novices and experts in the IT field.

There are typos in your command, causing the authentication failure. Please pay close attention to the note from the lab guide:

Note: depending on your PDF viewer, if you are cutting and pasting the above instructions, the underscores may disappear and be replaced by spaces, so you may have to edit the command line by hand!

Regards,
-Chris
