... or wrong username. (Hint:
ssh is a unix terminal command...)
As dfranetic has pointed out above, if you are sure that you used the correct password "flash", check the user name. It should be "root" only. SSH is a command, it's not included in the username. I did the flash from a Windows PC (Windows power shell) and thus copying the whole command line including IP address worked for me perfectly.
Really?! Do I have to elaborate on my hint?
Username is root (without ssh or space in front of it).
Yes, you should follow the latest post about all this, FAQ -> Q3.
1. You need to understand which files are in which folders on the GRML USB.
2. You need to understand some basic Linux commands to monitor the files and folders.
3. And don't forget to include "./" in your command line. Read until thoroughly understand the README file inside the "flash" folder.
I forgot this "./" and was told (on the screen) that the file doesn't exit.

Why are you using a GUI and not the terminal app from windows? Just enter the linux commands which are described in the already mentioned posts.
with the windows terminal I cannot enter the password. when it asks for the password, my keyboard does not function?
well...looking at the failure message the GUI has also an issue with the keyboard "Reading from Keyboard failed". So check your windows....I am not using windows since long time .-)
For the 12,2 iMac which card in your opinion has the least amount of troubles for macOS?
Thanks
