Quick Azure note: after creating a new virtual machine, the entered password might not work

Today, I was facing a simple problem: after creating a Windows virtual machine on Azure web portal, I entered the admin password as usual. But once the VM was up and running, it wouldn't accept my password. And yes, I'm sure I typed it right. Instead, the problem appears to in Azure.

The solution? Go to the Azure web portal, and under the desired virtual machine, select "Support & Troubleshooting" and then "Reset password". You can enter the original password again, and then wait for a couple of minutes (it isn't instant) for the reset operation to be complete.

After this, you can log in normally again.
