Debian jessie in linux deploy will not let me login via ssh user locked and I used the right password still won't allow me to connect please help

Maybe password aging is activated?
Read about it

Code:

man chage

As root on the system, run

Code:

chage -l userid

and change the expiration date to none or a new one.
Maybe the pam_tally is activated?
Read about it

Code:

man pam_tally
man pam_tally2

As root on the system, try to reset it with

Code:

pam_tally2 -u userid -r
pam_tally --user userid --reset

please take a moment to consider:
MadeInGermany took quite some effort to help you with your problem; now compare that to your answer.
I think you are going to have to do better than that if you want to get to a solution for your problem.

technically:
"don't work" is NEVER a sufficient answer.
show us what you tried, full commands, and their output.
PLUS anything else you could think of might be relevant.
info about your environment etc.

Do you have console access? Or is the only access via SSH? If you have console access then you can watch the logs while you try to log in via SSH.

Code:

tail -f /var/log/auth | grep sshd

There should be some clue there as to the actual error.

Every time I try to connect with ssh with terminal it says permission denied im using the right password now its locked to many password entries what's do I do if I can't get sudo

bobbyjoehall · 04-25-2017, 08:35 PM

What's do u mean console access? Terminal emulater?

Turbocapitalist · 04-25-2017, 08:38 PM

The console is the display and keyboard, usually serial, that are physically attached to the computer. The terminal is just a program you run on your local machine that may contain programs, like SSH clients, to connect to other machines or to work locally.
