What user and password do I use in the sandbox?

Roosje,Michele 0

I am trying to complete the activity in the sandbox "write a script to create virtual machine" after I write and run the script it askes for the user and password. I looked through the help questions and someone suggested using sudo -u for the user but I still don't know the password.

Hi Michele,

You can reset this password using the Azure Portal:

Azure portal

https://github.com/Huachao/azure-content/blob/master/articles/virtual-machines/virtual-machines-linux-use-vmaccess-reset-password-or-ssh.md#azure-portal

It would almost be better to restart and recreate the VM:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/modules/create-windows-virtual-machine-in-azure/3-exercise-create-a-vm

Or you can do this via Azure CLI:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/quick-create-cli#create-virtual-machine

Azure CLICopyOpen Cloudshell

vmname="myVM" username="azureuser" az vm create \ --resource-group $resourcegroup \ --name $vmname \ --image Win2022AzureEditionCore \ --public-ip-sku Standard \ --admin-username $username
