the password of the user you are connecting. In your example below it
would be "yyyy".

The message above indicates that you are connecting to a host whose
certificate has changed for any reason (which could possibly also be
malicious). Same thing as if you use ssh and the host key changes.
If you sure that it is the right host you can simply remove the entry from
~/.freerdp/known_hosts and reconnect.
When connecting to a session broker with different certificates this
warning can happen. For this, and all other cases
where you don't want this warning, you can use the option
"--ignore-certificate" (or /cert-ignore with newer versions of FreeRDP).

Best regards,
Bernhard
