Please make sure you are using a capital "P" for the password flag.  It looks like you're currently using a lowercase "p" which tells knife bootstrap which port to connect to.

I sometimes find it's a bit more clear if you use the longer version of the various flags.  It's more to type but a bit clearer what's happening.  You can find the necessary flags by running "knife bootstrap --help"

You'll see that, for example, '-x' and '--ssh-user' are equivalent.

Try running your bootstrap command as follows:  

knife bootstrap uvo164sg64wjmyach0c.vm.cld.sr --ssh-user root --ssh-password Xy9r3X67tL --node-name module2

Hope that helps!

This SAVED my day!!! I've been beating my head on a wall with a weird -p error that amounted to me not using -P!! Ill be typing --ssh-user and --ssh-password from now on!!
