wrong key
Won't turn lock
Wrong key describes using an incorrect key for a lock, or in music, playing in a key that doesn't match the intended composition.
The phrase extends to any mismatched input: I kept getting an error because I was hitting the wrong key.
In computing, it often means typing an unintended keystroke or using invalid credentials: The system locked me out after I entered the wrong key too many times.
