Our team is attempting to login to our Jetson through Putty, but every time it is saying the login is incorrect even though we’re using the default login (avr and bellavr22). Sometimes, if we seem to time it just right, it has worked, but mainly it does not. We tried reflashing the SD card and reinstalling putty and nothing seems to work. We’ve been stuck with this problem for multiple weeks now- any advice??

If you connect a monitor and keyboard to your Jetson are you able to login directly? If so, then I’m assuming there’s a configuration issue with your putty setup. One thing I’m noticing is that putty is printing your password to the terminal (from your screenshot) and that’s not normal. Unless there is a putty setting that I’m not aware of. Let us know if you can login directly and then we can help troubleshoot from there.

We were able to login directly through a monitor, however, are still having problems connecting to the GUI and Q Ground Control. Here is a link to my most recent post that describes the issues we are having.

> Our team is having the same problem as stated in this forum entry: [Cant connect to Qground nor AVR GUI](https://forum.theavr.org/t/cant-connect-to-qground-nor-avr-gui/672) and the user who posted it clarified it was fixed but never stated how to fix it. We’re getting the same error on QGC as the post and the GUI error the screenshot included shows. How can we fix this? We’ve been troubleshooting with our jetson for weeks now and have finally seemed to hit a breakthrough until this happened.
