I can't ssh with a client, but it won't connect, saying the username or password is incorrect.

So I turn once again to this great site to search for my answer. It's been two days and I feel seemingly helpful tips are peppered all over the place but hard to get a did unitive answer.

I tried telnet to try to change my password.

In terminal I typed "telnet 192.168.15.244"
It connects fine.

Then I type: "passwd"
And type in my new password twice.
Then it says that it can not be saved.

Please humble me with a few step to step instructions please, about to throw the damn computer out the window.

Thanks for reading

man telnet
and:
man passwd
The goal is to have everything documented.
There are 8 levels of manuals, nearly everything is.

TL;DR ?
If kindle IP == 198.162.1.244 then: telnet 198.162.1.244
