Troubleshoot a problem connecting to a Windows instance
This guide is about recovering the password of a Windows image (any version) on Public Cloud.
Logging into the Windows Instance
By default, the username is
Administrator
The password, on the other hand, is generated during the initial boot sequence of the instance.
If you are unable to establish the first connection to your Windows instance, you will need the private key used during the deployment process. Enter these commands:
- Install or verify that nova-client is installed:
pip3 install python-novaclient - Retrieve the instance password:
nova get-password <INSTANCE_ID> <PRIVATE_KEY_FILE>
