Scenarios
If you have forgotten your password, you can reset the instance's log-in password in the console. This document only describes how to change the instance log-in password in the Cloud Virtual Machine management console.
Note:
- The password reset operation is allowed only for instances that are in shutdown status.
- For a running instance, after you change the instance password in the console, the server will be shut down during the password reset process. To avoid data loss, plan the operation time in advance. It is recommended to operate during business off-peak hours to minimize the impact.
