    Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.

    You can create a new administrative/sudo user with an SSH key for authentication:

    az vm user update --resource-group myResourceGroup --name myVM --username myNewUser --ssh-key-value ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

    Hello Krishna Chaitanya Mallipeddi (Tech Mahindra Ltd)

    You mentioned an issue with Docker that led you to try restarting the docker socket. If you're seeing an error with docker pull or other Docker commands,

    please provide the specific error message you're seeing. This will help diagnose the issue more accurately.

    Common Docker issues might include problems with permissions, Docker daemon not running, or network issues affecting pulls from Docker registries. Restarting the Docker service might help if the service is down.

    sudo systemctl restart docker

    If you can provide the exact error message from Docker or more details about what's going wrong, I can give you more specific advice on how to solve it.

    1.Reboot your computer.

    2.Hold or repeatedly press the key that brings up the boot menu (often F12, Esc, or Del), then select the option to boot into recovery mode

    3.Once in recovery mode, you may see an option to "access a root shell or terminal." Select this option

    4.At the root shell, enter the command to reset the password for your user account.

    passwd your_username

    5.Replace " your_username" with your actual username.

    6.It prompts to enter a new password.

    7.Restart the System.

    8.Once the password is reset, reboot the system normally.

    reboot

    Hi @Krishna Chaitanya Mallipeddi (Tech Mahindra Ltd),

    It seems you are using Azure cloud shell, your user account in Cloud Shell is an unprivileged account. You can't use sudo or run any command that requires elevated permissions.
    Reference: https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/azure/cloud-shell/faq-troubleshooting#i-want-to-install-a-tool-in-cloud-shell-that-requires-sudo-is-that-possible

    The Docker CLI is installed in Azure cloud shell instances however the daemon is not. So things like docker pull, docker build, and docker push do not work.
    Reference: https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/azure-docs/issues/8464

    You can install both the Azure CLI and the Docker engine on your local machine.

    Hope this helps.
