Hi Christopher, To reset the username and password for an Azure Virtual Machine (VM), you can follow these steps:

1. Sign in to the Azure portal (https://portal.azure.com/).
2. Navigate to the Virtual Machine for which you want to reset the username and password.
3. Click on the "Reset password" option in the left-hand menu under the "Support + troubleshooting" section.
4. In the "Reset password" blade, you can specify a new username and password for the VM. Enter the desired values in the "Username" and "Password" fields. You can also choose to automatically generate a strong password by clicking on the "Generate password" button.
5. Click on the "Update" button to apply the new username and password.
6. Once the password reset is completed, you can use the new username and password to sign in to the VM. Note: The VM needs to be in a running state for the password reset to work. If the VM is stopped, you will need to start it before performing the password reset operation. Regards, Karthik Srinivas
