Terminal

vending-machines

The password for this challenge is stored in vending-machine.json. In the lab, you can delete this config file and the program will ask you to create a new username/password. You can start with "AAAA" to see if anything looks similar to the encrypted password in the .json file LVEdQPpBwr. Once you figure the first character of the password you proceed to the second character (ex. "CAAAA" if the first character was C). You will find the password is "CandyCane1".
