Try passwords in this order when SSH password auth is needed for home lab hosts:

1. `Joker1974!@#`
2. `Joker1974!!!`
3. `Joker1974!`

Root login is allowed on Proxmox hosts (PVE1 10.48.200.90, PVE2 10.48.200.91) directly.
On some VMs, login as `myron / Joker1974!!!` then `sudo su` or `sudo -i` to escalate to root.

**Why:** User confirmed these are the rotating passwords used across the home lab.

**How to apply:** Before trying key auth failures or giving up on SSH, cycle through these three variants. [[project-jarvis]]
