I try to solve ELF32 - Format string bug basic 1, but I have a small problem.
I find password in Stack and when I enter it in form on the challenge page, page shows me message "Just try again!". I’m sure that password is correct.
I tested exploit in local machine and all was right.

What i am doing wrong ?

I will be grateful for any help.

You have to think about how the memory stores your data.
A good way to achieve this would be to recreate this on your own environment, and see how the memory stores your password by changing it and find out how the bytes should be read.

Hint: little vs big endian.
