Users Lab account password

Hello, @Ron Elliott !

How do I set a password for a user account in an Azure Lab Services lab?

When creating the lab, you can specify a password for the user (see step 5 below):

On the Virtual machine credentials page, specify default credentials for all VMs in the lab.

1. Specify the name of the user for all VMs in the lab.
2. Specify the password for the user. Important Make a note of user name and password. They won't be shown again.
3. Disable Use same password for all virtual machines option if you want students to set their own passwords. This step is optional. An educator can choose to use the same password for all the VMs in the lab, or allow students to set passwords for their VMs. By default, this setting is enabled for all Windows and Linux images except for Ubuntu. When you select Ubuntu VM, this setting is disabled and students are prompted to set a password when they sign in for the first time.
