Issue:

When using remote access via SSH, receive an error:

`Too many authentication failures`

Possible solution:

You may have an ssh agent set up that is trying to do private/public key authentication. If so, you can force SSH to use password authentication by adding:

`-o PreferredAuthentications=password -o PubkeyAuthentication=no`

to the SSH command.

For example:

ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -o PreferredAuthentications=password -o PubkeyAuthentication=no [email protected]`
