When you run a command that requires typing the password as “sudo su” or “mysqlrouter --bootstrap”, Kron PAM expects a predefined password prompt. The expected password prompt should match with the defined regex in the Element Type Properties.


**Steps to Fix:**


Take the following steps to troubleshoot:

1. Navigate to **Device Management > Element Type.**
2. On the related element type, click the **Options menu > Show Properties.**
3. Add the** enforcer.terminal.behaviour.exc\_last\_line\_patterns** element type property with a proper regex with the password prompt.

:::hint{type="info"}
**.\*password.\*:.\* **regex should match the password prompt of commands. You can check whether it matches on a 3rd party website.
