Vagrant Up authentication and projects folder

Hi!

  1. I'm having problems with the "$ vagrant up" command. I get an authentication error (password not provided) when attempting to run it. I've attached a screenshot of my console and Finder window. I believe I have created a solution for the problem by aborting the command upon authentication failure, and "$ vagrant ssh" - password: treehouse into the VM. This hacky solution may have however inadvertently caused another problem (#2).

  2. I don't seem to have a projects folder in my treehouse VM. I've attached a screenshot of my commands, detailing both problem #1 and #2.

I have the exact same problem. I was wondering if you were able to fix it?
