Thanks for replying. Here is the terminal output after entering the code you suggested.
For some reason the 1st time I gave my password it failed, 2nd try it accepted the password. Ive done this afew times, Im not making any typos on my password.
I make lots of mistakes, but I think Im doing this right.
Jim
