Unable to connect to the raspberry pi through SSH

Question

I have a raspberry pi 3 with Debian os and I am unable to connect to it via ssh through VS code.The pi has already been configured and has a username and password.

The raspberry pi shows the message ‘couldn’t find an input interrupt endpoint’ before launching.

Here are the steps I follow:

1. Enable SSH on the pi and find out its local IP address and connect the pi and the laptop on the same wifi.Delete the SSH folders at C:\Program Data\ and C:<user>\ username\

2. Install remote SSH in vs code and add new host.

3. It then asks for the ssh connection command and I enter ssh rpiusername@ipadrress.

4. It then creates the .ssh file at C:\Users\username.ssh.

5. The host gets added and then I chose linux as the platform for the remote host.

6. It asks to continue and then asks for the password.

7. I enter the password and it gets rejected 3 times.

8. Finally it says it couldn’t establish connection and permission denied(Public key,password)

Here is what I get in the terminal

Log Level: 2

I am 95% sure I am entering the correct password.I am unable to figure out the error so please help.

Answer 1

It looks like the password is incorrect. Are you able to SSH into the Pi and use the same userid and password that you've configured VS Code to use?
