Beginners • SSH don’t work

Hey, I bought a Raspberry Pi 3B+ and installed the 64-bit Lite version. During the installation, I enabled SSH and created a username and password.

After starting the Raspberry Pi, it prompted me to create a new username and password.

When I try to log in via SSH from my PC, I get the following message:

ssh: connect to host <IP> port 22: Connection refused

I installed the SSH service on my PC.

When I logged in to the Raspberry Pi itself, I managed to establish a connection from the PC using the command "sudo service ssh start", but it didn't accept my password. After restarting the Raspberry Pi, it still didn't work.

Now I've done a fresh installation because I thought I might have made a mistake during the installation. I followed the following video tutorial:
Both are german.

Further information:

The Raspberry Pi is connected to the network via LAN.
I'm using Nobara Linux on my PC. I switched from Windows to Linux about a year ago, so I'm not very experienced with Linux yet.
I have already looked for solutions, but haven't found any yet.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Best regards,
Klexi
