Strong Password Guidelines:
To ensure security, use the following best practices when creating a password:
- Minimum Length: At least 12–16 characters.
- Combination of Characters: Include uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special symbols (@, #, $, etc.).
- Avoid Common Words: Do not use easily guessable words like ‘password123’ or your name.
- No Reuse: Avoid reusing old passwords.
By following these steps and best practices, you can ensure the security of your VM and prevent unauthorised access.
Post-Reset Login Verification:
After resetting your VM password, it is important to verify that the new credentials are working correctly.
For Windows VMs:
- Open a new RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) connection to the VM’s IP address.
- Enter the username and new password to verify access.
