First i open a terminal and write:

#ssh -X gw302 (i am using aliases)

then i am promped for password
after inserting the password i must change user on the other computer:

This a topic that is easy to google and also easy to find in the forums here using the search engine.
You might want to use some pattern like "ssh without password" for example. If you try it out and it still does not work, post here again with an explicit error description please.
