You are attempting to log into Windows with a user named totoadministrator is that the correct username for the Windows account? I already know it's not because the logs indicate it's an invalid user. This tells me the syntax your using to connect to the OpenSSH Server isn't correct. Just try ssh administrator@address, provided, Administrator is the actual user you want to use, which by default is disabled

@Ramhound and @Jaromanda So, I use ssh toto\administrator@address because that is what I get when I type whoami in powershell. I was wondering, how would I be able to provide the logs, would I have to provide the logs using journalctl in Kali VM? Or is there something else that I've to do. Besides, I also wanted to confirm, the password required to enter into the windows homescreen should be the password required by the ssh

what user are you using to ssh in to windows ... i.e. ssh user@address what is the user portion? if none, it uses whatever the current (client) username is

| Jun 28, 2023 at 21:20 | comment | added | Ramhound | In order to SSH into a Windows installation you need the username and password, to a user profile, that exists on the machine itself. If the password is being rejected, you are likely, not using the correct syntax to connect to the Windows machine. Provide the server logs associated with the timeframe while you attempt to make the connection to the server. Without detail information this question cannot be answered, nor can an appropriate duplicate be identified, the likelihood of this being associated with the system not being activated is actually fairly small. | |
