Why doesn't vagrant password work on Windows 7?

Question

I am installing vagrant(version 1.7.2) on Windows 7. During vagrant up process, I addconfig.ssh.insert_key = false according to vagrant prompt. Then I use the following SSH command to login:

ssh -p 2222 [email protected]
Password:

I input vagrant, but can't login. Could anyone give any clues?

The root cause is forgetting using private key.

For putty client, please refer this link:https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9885108/ssh-to-vagrant-box-in-windows

For Cygwin client:

Copy C:\Users\user_name\.vagrant.d\insecure_private_key to Cygwin's  /home/user_name/.ssh/id_rsa
