I created an azure vm, then logged in to it. Later when I try to login using the same password, it gives invalid credentials error. Also, when I try to reset the password. It fails. Could anyone tell me a solution for the same?
According to your description, maybe we can try to add a new user to solve this problem.
azure vm reset-access -g stlvm -n stl-centos7 -u test -p
examplePassword
If your VM is running, maybe we can analyze the sshd logs by using CustomScriptForLinux.
You may refer to the following links for how to use CustomScriptForLinux:

I am using azure command line interface in my linux machine to run an image with azure container instance.
I am facing issue to login using az login command. I understood that the issue is because i am working behind corporate proxy and i tried appending certificates into cacert.pem file. But the issue is not resolved. I guess i might be doing something wrong which i am not able to identify. See the error in the screen short. Please suggest me which CA certificate i have to add to cacert.pem file and how to get the certificate. Thanks in advance! Command used: az login
I am trying to change the admin password for an Azure VM. I am not able to log on to the VM remotely.
What I've tried:
The password reset tool located in the Azure Portal for the VM
Set-AzVMAccessExtension via Powershell in the Azure Cloud Shell
Both return the following:
Failed to reset password
VM has reported a failure when processing extension 'VMAccessAgent'. Error message: "Parsing Extension protected settings failed. Exception : Cannot find certificate with thumbprint '[Thumbprint Snipped]' to decrypt protected settings."
Has anyone encountered this situation in an Azure VM? If so, what can be done to remedy this error and reset the admin password OR add an admin user to the account?
To answer this, in case anyone stumbles upon it looking for an answer, I had to do the offline password reset method outlined in Azure documentation:
Reset local Windows password for Azure VM offline
It wasn't that painful if you go slow and methodically, but as there was something misconfigured on the VM instance that was seemingly beyond my control, this was the only recourse. And while yes, this is probably better suited to ServerFault, I will leave it here to help anyone that runs into a similar situation.
I have posted previously about az login using a Service Principal failing with the error No subscriptions found and I have run across others that have had similar issues. Capability seems shaky for some reason. What I am seeing now that has me scratching my head is when I run a script I have that does an az login with a service principal from my desktop computer it works fine...no issues. When I run the same script from my laptop, the login fails with the No subscriptions found error. What I have tried on the laptop:
Checked AZ CLI version...same as desktop
Ran az account clear to make sure everything was cleared out
Deleted Service Principal from AAD and recreated from laptop
I even ran az account clear on my desktop to make sure it was not working simply because it was cached and even after the clear, the az login worked fine.
Any thoughts on what might be causing this?
You need to assign a Role to the Service Principle, or add the flag --allow-no-subscriptions.
I have posted resolution for this under following thread.
https://stackoverflow.com/a/66108965/1712969
you might want to try command with this flag "--allow-no-subscriptions"
I am the admin of this particular azure subscription. I had to add my ssh key to a ubuntu server. But when I try to add the ssh key through "Reset Password", After sometime I'll get the following error message.
VM agent on VM 'Server' has not reported latest status for extension 'enablevmaccess'. Please verify the VM has a running VM agent and can establish outbound connections to Azure storage.
What might be the issue? How to resolve this?
Failed to reset ssh key
vmaccess is enabled
Two simple thing you might try;
Uninstall the VMAccess extension and try reset again.
Use the 'Run Command' to set/reset password.
Hope this helps.
your first error tells you exactly why this happens. vm extension needs to talk to azure storage to report extension status. if it cant - portal operations might fail (this doesnt mean the extension failed; its just unable to report actual extension status).
I've created a VM of Apache Solr by Bitnami on Azure, specifying my username / password in the creation process .
When i run : ssh my_username#my_vm_ip it works
But in the web portal http://my_vm_ip/solr , a popup username/password appears . I use same credentials than SSH and it fails
Any idea?
The application password generated by the Bitnami VM is generated uniquely for each VM, and is shown on the application vm console:
I'm not sure how you'd display the console login screen on Azure, but you can check the boot diagnostics log at least. The banner message is usually stored either in /etc/issue.* or /etc/motd, so I'd check that as well.
The default user name is user.
The default password you need to ssh to your VM and check /var/log/syslog. Search Bitnami, you will get like below:
