Hi Nachiket Bhanudas Satpute, Adding the answer provided @TP on this thread: Sudo password for azure sandbox

You need to ssh to the vm you created before you can use sudo. Please see instructions below to complete the exercise.> Please activate new sandbox and create the VM as instructed in the exercise. After Task 1 finishes, make a note of the publicIpAddress that was assigned to the VM (e.g. 20.245.72.52). Start Task 2, and then when it errors out, follow steps below:> > > Connect to the newly created VM using ssh (in cloud shell). You will need to substitute the publicIpAddress you noted above for <VM public ip address> below:

ssh azureuser@<VM public Ip address>

Enter yes when you are prompted.

Copy and right-click -- paste the following three commands below in the cloud shell window. Wait for each to complete before pasting in the next command.

sudo apt-get update

`

sudo apt-get install -y nginx

echo <html><body><h2>Welcome to Azure! My name is $(hostname).</h2></body></html>"`` | sudo tee -a /var/www/html/index.html`

Performing the steps above should only add a couple of minutes to the process. Continue on in the module.

Hi Nachiket Bhanudas Satpute, 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 Azure CLICopy

Hi Nachiket Bhanudas Satpute,

Thank you for reaching out to us on the Microsoft Q&A forum.

When a GitHub Bash script requests a password during installation, it indicates the need for elevated privileges to execute specific actions, like modifying protected directories or installing system-wide dependencies.

To proceed, input the password associated with the user account possessing administrative rights on your system. This password is the same one used for performing administrative tasks or effecting system alterations. By supplying this password, you authorize the script to acquire the requisite permissions for successful installation.
