I've tried to access data from WRDS through Google Colab by using wrds.Connection() function. But I got the OperationalError. I accessed data from WRDS through Google Colab many times before but this is the first time I face this problem. I changed password, computer, browser many times but it still didn't work. Anyone please take a look and give me a comment so that I can get through this issue. Many thanks! Enter your WRDS username [root]:......... Enter your password:........
