cant connect to ssh with username Admin1

I'm doing an activity and for some reason I cant connect with ssh to a router with the username Admin1. Every time i connect I recieve a login error like if the password I entered was wrong. I tried creating a different username and ssh worked normally, tried deleting Admin1 and recreating him but still no luck. Seems like there is a problem directly with Admin1. Any suggestions how to fix the issue?

I dont fully sure but admin I think one of keyword using with ssh in OS' this make using username admin impossible.

But the username I'm using is "Admin1" so it should not be a keyword anymore or am I wrong?

To test what I suspect of' try do telnet and see if you can access.

As I mention some OS ssh is sensitive to admin word.

MHM

Would you do these things:

login to the router

configure user Admin1

logout of router

attempt to login using Admin1

assuming that it fails login with ID that does work

use command show run | include user and post the output

Sorry for the late answer. The output seems normal, i get the username and the encrypted password

Is this device using an authentication server or is it using locally configured IDs? It would be helpful if we could see the current running config (obscuring sensitive information such as passwords, Public IPs, etc). If you do not want to post the complete config would you post the output of the command show run | sec aaa

Can you share the exact error message you are receiving?
