Deploy Azure VM , ARM template with basic software - azure

Question

I am trying to create Azure VM with ARM template with basic software, I've written ARM template for this but I am unable to deploy VM in this template.
Please refer below error :-
{"code":"DeploymentFailed","message":"At least one resource deployment
operation failed. Please list deployment operations for details.
Please see https://aka.ms/arm-debug for usage
details.","details":[{"code":"BadRequest","message":"{\r\n \"error\":
{\r\n \"code\": \"InvalidTemplate\",\r\n \"message\": \"Unable to
process template language expressions for resource
'/subscriptions/b312b990-e271-4a63-a63a-d6768e1c7aad/resourceGroups/rohittestrg/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/mydevboxvm1'
at line '110' and column '9'. 'The template parameter ' ' is not
found. Please see https://aka.ms/arm-template/#parameters for usage
details.'\"\r\n }\r\n}"}]}.
I used this link for reference

I am trying to do this on Windows server.
This would be great if you can provide solution for this.

You forgot to pass parameter names here:
"adminUsername": "[parameters('')]",
"adminPassword": "[parameters('')]"
this should be this:
"adminUsername": "[parameters('adminUsername')]",
"adminPassword": "[parameters('adminPassword')]"
