NC_get_config.py failing with Sandbox

Beginner with NETCONF here, could just be missing something obvious. Could also be the sandbox isn't working correctly, but if someone can verify what I'm doing I'd appreciate ruling in or out my own work here.

Attempting to do a little NETCONF sandbox demo, I keep getting:

"File "/opt/homebrew/lib/python3.11/site-packages/ncclient/manager.py", line 176, in connect
return connect_ssh(*args, **kwds)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
File "/opt/homebrew/lib/python3.11/site-packages/ncclient/manager.py", line 143, in connect_ssh
session.connect(*args, **kwds)
File "/opt/homebrew/lib/python3.11/site-packages/ncclient/transport/ssh.py", line 364, in connect
self._auth(username, password, key_filenames, allow_agent, look_for_keys)
File "/opt/homebrew/lib/python3.11/site-packages/ncclient/transport/ssh.py", line 480, in _auth
raise AuthenticationError(repr(saved_exception))
ncclient.transport.errors.AuthenticationError: AuthenticationException('Authentication failed.')"

The script I'm using is: https://github.com/CiscoDevNet/python_code_samples_network/blob/master/NC-get-config/NC-get-config.py

The command I'm using is: python3 NC_get_config.py --host sandbox-iosxe-recomm-1.cisco.com -u developer -p C1sco12345 --port 830

Details of the host:

CSR1000V Host: sandbox-iosxe-recomm-1.cisco.com
SSH Port: 22
NETCONF Port: 830
RESTCONF Ports: 443 (HTTPS)
Username: developer
Password: C1sco12345

@tristanh its failing as your username/password is not correct (AuthenticationError:) is you use the same details ssh to the device will also fail. I think work was being done and password etc.. are being updated. Reserve this one HERE and try the code.

Hope this helps.

@Sanito the username and password are ok, but looks like the enable password has been removed or the developer username is no longer priv level 15
