I want to synchronize with the network test network. I create a new user with the following command:

sudo geth --datadir/data/ethereum/test --keystore /data/ethereum/test/keystore account new

Next, I run:

sudo geth --testnet --syncmode "fast" --datadir /data/ethereum/test --keystore /data/ethereum/test/keystore --maxpeers 20 --cache=1024 --rpc --rpcapi "db,eth,net,web3,personal" --rpcport=8545 --rpcaddr "0.0.0.0" --rpccorsdomain "*" console

An error occurs:

WARN [12-06 | 11: 29: 30.933] Failed account unlock attempt address = 0x06C55Ac0d9C14348D5b63FC693e134889340ecBa err = "cannot decrypt key with given passphrase".

I enter the password 100% correct. Ports are open

tcp: 80, 8080, 443, 30000 - 30999, 8545.

udp: 30000 - 30999.

I connect to the server using PuTTY. Server: ubuntu-bionic-18.04-amd64. If you delete all accounts and create anew, this error will still occur. If the network is synchronized and I create a new account, it is still an error.

Please format your question properly. It is very hard to read/understand. – Rajeev Atmakuri Dec 06 '18 at 12:15
