Explanation
The JSON structure contains a top-level key content, which is a list of dictionaries. Each dictionary has user_id and password keys. To access the password for the user "ozzy", Access the content list at index 1 (json['content'][1]), which corresponds to the second item (for "ozzy"). Within that dictionary, access the password key (['password']), which contains a list. Retrieve the first (and only) element of the password list ([0]).
