I've never done a public/private key login. I know that when using PuTTy and you paste in a password (PuTTy right-click), it never looks like the password has been pasted but it has.

    Couple of things. Check the log files of your ClearOS server to make sure you are seeing the login failure there. If you are not, then the server you are trying to connect to is not this server. Also, copy your password from a notepad as % (percent) signs can be PROPERLY used by browsers to represent characters. So if you password has a % sign or other character in it, it can be rendered as something else when put into a web form.

    From command line you can change the password by logging in as 'root' (switch to console with Ctrl+Alt+F2) then put in your password. Use the command:

    passwd



    I'm logging in from my computer to another server, this server is linux, and remotely login by putty, it's the putty login key that does not accept, copy and paste and I'm sure if it's the correct key.

    Can I quickly clarify, are you trying to log into SSH with the root user or another user?
