Solve a problem connecting to a Windows instance

This guide concerns the recovery of password of a Windows image (any version) on Public Cloud.

Connecting to Windows instance

By default the username is Administrator.

The password is generated during the first boot sequence of the instance.

If you do not manage to establish the first connection to your Windows instance, you need the private key used during the deployment process.

Enter these commands:

1. to install or verify that nova-client is installed:
   pip3 install python-novaclient
2. to retrieve the password of the instance:
   nova get-password <INSTANCE_ID> <PRIVATE_KEY_FILE>

Be aware of the Official documentation.
