Error message

%s

What it means

Raised in parsePasswords when reading the -pwdf passwords file fails (missing, unreadable, or I/O error); the localized message carries the file path and wrapped cause. Only file reading, not password content, triggers it.

Solutions

1. Confirm the passwords file path is correct and readable
2. Ensure one password per line with no binary content
3. Use -pw to supply passwords inline as a workaround
