Running to error, when trying to login to the router, can some on guide on my mistake here.

below is the code and also attaching the .screenshot

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service

driver_service = Service(executable_path="C:\Program Files (x86)\chromedriver.exe")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=driver_service)

PASSWORD = 'testtes'

login_page = 'http://192.168.2.1/login.html'

driver.get(login_page)
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@placeholder='Password']").send_keys(PASSWORD)

Below is the error I am getting.

Probably you are using Selenium 4. if so, find_element_by_xpath and all the others find_element_by_* methods are not supported by Selenium 4, you have to use the new syntax and add an essential import, as following:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

driver_service = Service(executable_path="C:\Program Files (x86)\chromedriver.exe")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=driver_service)

PASSWORD = 'testtes'

login_page = 'http://192.168.2.1/login.html'

driver.get(login_page)
driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//input[@placeholder='Password']").send_keys(PASSWORD)

Try this:

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//input[@placeholder='Password']").send_keys(PASSWORD)
