sudo apt-get update command for sudo password

Question

I followed the instructions to do the exercise for creating a virtual machine. when I enterred command "sudo apt-get update", it asked me enter a password. I entered and got this output:

Sorry, try again

I verified the password for the microsoft login. It is correct. I am able to login to my microsoft account. Why I can't login here in the Sandbox? I remember I can login to Sandbox before? Why today I can't?

sudo apt-get update
