SSH connection fails Elixir - ssh

Question

I am working on an elixir where project where I have to establish an ssh connection after receiving an http request and validating its content. I am trying to establish an ssh connection using the following commands:
:ssh.start
{:ok, conn} = :ssh.connect('o5108005855.v4.s5.ams.boa.io', 22, [ {:user,<user_name>},{:silently_accept_hosts, true} ], 5000)
I am asked to enter the ssh password and when I do I get: undefined function <password>/0. If someone has come across a similar problem, please share your solution.
After a while of inactivity I get:
