Hello, @Phillip Hamilton !

How do I reset the password of my VM?

If you have forgotten the password on your VM, resetting it is a straightforward process. Below are instructions using the Azure portal:

Reset Remote Desktop Services or its administrator password in a Windows VM

First, sign in to the Azure portal and then select Virtual machines on the left menu. Reset the local administrator account password

1. Select your Windows VM and then select Reset password under Help. The Reset password window is displayed.
2. Select Reset password, enter a username and a password, and then select Update.
3. Try connecting to your VM again.

Reset the Remote Desktop Services configuration

This process will enable Remote Desktop service in the VM, and create a firewall rule for the default RDP port 3389.

1. Select your Windows VM and then select Reset password under Help. The Reset password window is displayed.
2. Select Reset configuration only and then select Update.
3. Try connecting to your VM again.
