I created the database mentioned above and I want to change the password. I checked online and this was the way to do it. But it seems Azure is not supporting it. So how do we change the password? db.changeUserPassword("accountUser", "SOh3TbYhx8ypJPxmt1oOfL")

Hi Ziggy Zulueta , Thanks for your patience and reply. Please use Azure Portal, open your Azure Cosmos DB for MongoDB (vCore), go to Overview section as shown below and use option "Reset Password" to change password of your admin username: As per the documentation here https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/azure/cosmos-db/mongodb/how-to-setup-rbac#limitations , a user's password can earlier only be set/reset by through the Azure CLI / Azure PowerShell which is now possible through Azure Portal too. To update the user's password, send the new password in the password field. In Powershell: az cosmosdb mongodb user definition update --account-name <account-name> --resource-group <resource-group-name> --body {"Id":"test.myName","UserName":"myName","Password":"pass","DatabaseName":"test","CustomData":"Some_Random_Info","Mechanisms":"SCRAM-SHA-256","Roles":[{"Role":"My_Read_Only_Role101","Db":"test"}]} Please try and let us know if you could make it or face any issue. Awaiting you reply so that we can assist further. Thanks

Ok this sounds confusing. Your first paragraph was to reset in the portal. But in the second paragraph you say it has to be in the powershell. so where should i do it?

Hi Ziggy Zulueta,

Our products keep evolving, I can see reset option in my account via Azure Portal too.

Regarding documentation, it needs to be updated.

If you find there, kindly do so else you can try other ways.

Thanks

The password reset works in the Azure Portal. Best that you edit the answer to say it works there too and that the limitation to be able to reset only at the Powershell is outdated.
