'How to resolve java.security.spec.InvalidKeySpecException: Password is not ASCII

I have one test named test_PBE_Triple_DES, here I am using PBE_DES3_CBC_SHA1_ALGORITHM to decode the encrypted password but whenever I try to execute it I get an error saying that the password is not ascii.

I have provided the stacktrace below.

In case anyone runs into this, I was reading the password from a file on the system and it had a newline automatically appended at the end of it it by vim. After I turned off the feature off in vim it worked fine.

Here's how to disable new line. How to stop VIM from adding a newline at end of file?
