Hello
I accessed my server with ssh one time on from Ubuntu16.04
But when tried to connect next time I goy this error
“Could not open a connection to your authentication agent”
after executing
$ eval ssh-agent -s
$ ssh-add <path_to_private_key>
So I cant connect with ssh, and I don’t have login or password. How can I get at least a login and password to access the server?
Please, help :) I am new to Ubuntu

i have the same problem in the gitlab about the jobs can someone help me please!
Instead of eval ssh-agent -s you may need to use:
exec ssh-agent bash
How this step is performed will vary depending on the OS you are on. This page has some other options and more information.
I am having the same problem. I have tried exec ssh-agent -s. It does not work. I am using Putty on a Windows machine.
