Hello @Mohamed Sulthan

If you are trying to login a new Azure Windows VM, try following steps:

1. On the virtual machine page, head over to Run command
2. Click on EnableAdminAccount
3. Run the cmdlet

Admin account was disabled. Enabling the Admin account.

Path          : \\localhost\root\cimv2:Win32_UserAccount.Domain="PaoloWin10",Name="PaoloUser"
RelativePath  : Win32_UserAccount.Domain="PaoloWin10",Name="PaoloUser"
Server        : localhost
NamespacePath : root\cimv2
ClassName     : Win32_UserAccount
IsClass       : False
IsInstance    : True
IsSingleton   : False

If the VM was uploaded from on premise source, you would need to add a SetupComplete2.cmd and EnableLocalAdminAccount.ps1 in C:/Windows/OEM to unlock the user account automatically upon VM creation. Strangely enough this does not appear on anywhere on Microsoft's guideline on how to migrate a on-prem VM to Azure, but the official windows image from the Marketplace do have those 2 files that are run after Sysprep.

This blog article was also very useful and points towards the creation of a SetupComplete2.cmd https://matt.kotsenas.com/posts/azure-setupcomplete2
