Base64 is type of encoding ASCII, just like hex and binary.
We can decode it in several ways:
In Linux:
echo "S1JZUFRPTklTR1JFQVQ=" | base64 -d

Or with cyberchef:

Or by writing simple python3 script:
import base64
Encoded_String = "S1JZUFRPTklTR1JFQVQ="
Decoded_String = base64.b64decode(Encoded_String).decode()
print(Decoded_String)

So here is the password for the first user, and we will authenticate with ssh:
ssh <User>@<IP> -p <Port>
<Password>
ssh krypton1@krypton.labs.overthewire.org -p 2231
<Password>
