Hi @Harshit Kumar,
Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A forum.
We see that you are facing an issue during your training on Microsoft Learn path. Please try to follow the instructions below.
Activate a new sandbox and proceed to create the virtual machine according to the exercise instructions. Once task 1 is completed, remember to record the public IP address assigned to VM, for example, 137.135.41.129.
Connect to the newly created VM using ssh in cloud shell. Use the command format to enter the password (Replace the VM public IP address with the actual IP address).
ssh azureuser@<VM public Ip address>
I have done from my end, for your reference I am sharing screenshot as below:

Hi @Harshit Kumar,
Thank you for reaching out to us on the Microsoft Q&A forum.
When setting up an Azure VM, you'll usually be prompted to create an administrative user, like "ubuntu", and supply a password or SSH key for authentication. The "Sudo" password is for this administrative user and is used to authorize administrative commands on the server, such as updates, configurations (like installing Nginx), and displaying messages on the home screen. It's important to choose a strong password for security reasons.
1. Activate a new sandbox and create a new VM as mentioned in the Exercise (step1 at Create a Linux VM and install Nginx).
2. After step 1, please make a note of Public IP address that was assigned to VM.
ssh azureuser@<VM public ip address>
3. The system gives you to prompt Yes/No. Enter Yes.
4.Please run the following commands one after another in cloud shell.
· 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.
. Exit
After completing the step 5, continue your module from step2 of Task 1: Create a Linux virtual machine and install Nginx at module 3 of 14.
