Password related issue unable to run sudo apt-get update command

Question

When I run this sudo apt-get update command it ask me for password, when I entered my password it says that it's not correct, but I am entering the same password that I use to enter in my Microsoft account.

Hi Jaskaran,

I assume you are referring to Describe Azure compute and networking services - Unit 3 Exercise - Create an Azure Virtual Machine. Please correct me if my assumption is wrong.

In this exercise it is not intended for you to run apt-get update command manually. This command gets executed inside the VM automatically when you copy/paste/enter the az vm extension set command into the cloud shell window.

If you want to manually run the apt-get update command you can, however, first you need to connect to the VM using ssh.

Please Activate a new sandbox and complete the exercise again. Please note that you need to complete both this exercise as well as the exercise of Unit 9 within the 1 hour time limit the sandbox is active. If you do not you will need to go back to this exercise, Activate new sandbox, complete exercise, then jump back to Unit 9 exercise.
