I'm using the Google Cloud Console to create a new Windows VM. I've tried both Server 2008 and 2012. In either case I cannot log into the VM once it's up because it says I have an incorrect credentials.
I've read this article:
https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/operating-systems/windows#understand_auth
However, it doesn't seem clear to me how this works. Previously I simply copied the password during the create new instance process, and the username was the same as the GC project ID name. This time I tried the name approach (projectID name + password) using RDP and couldn't login. I then tried my own username + the copied password and it still doesn't work.
Again, I haven't lost a password. The instance is brand new, I copied the password from the setup process, and I'm still not able to connect via RDP. Is there another step that I'm missing? Or do I not have the correct username in place?
Any help is appreciated.
We recently changed the way users log into new Windows instances. All the details should be at https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/operating-systems/windows#log_into_a_windows_virtual_machine
but please let me walk you through the steps.
Once you created a new Windows instance in the Developers console, please go into the new instance details page:
and then click "Create or reset Windows password".
You can now choose a local Windows username in the dialog [by default, this is your gmail without "#gmail.com"]
Click "Set" and wait until the new password is displayed to you.
Hope this helps.

I just discovered this issue on a PC that was working fine yesterday. Ie yesterday I could reset the password, today I could not. This was running on Chrome. The issue was that you could click reset password, get to the dialog with the user, but selecting 'reset' just caused it to spin and spin. I solved it by closing the browser and reopening it. Or open in Firefox. This was on a brand new VM instance.
As Alex states, this is a browser issue. I was not able to see the "Create or reset Windows password" button using Firefox. I went into Chrome and followed his instructions, everything worked as expected and now I'm up and running via RDP.

After every time changing the password and saving it. When I come back to Configuration password is changed. And when I click on change password button the existing value I get are under screenshots
There is a similar question asked here before here is the link for that
Jenkins changing the email password that I saved
As from 30 May 2022 gmail no longer supports the use of third-party apps or devices which ask you to sign in to your Google Account using only your username and password. So I couldn't follow the solution exactly.
What I did
Generated the gmail password By going into my gmail account Settings -> Security and under 'Signing in to google' option I clicked on 'App passwords' and generated one.
Then I disabled the 2 step verification following the solution provided on above link
But it isn't working either. Any help would be great. Just started with jenkins not a pro at it!
Thanks in advance
Actually it works fine to login, and also when I execute something with sudo. But when I try to change preferences and window with login/password pops up, it says that password is incorrect.
So I actually cannot install anything.
I finally figured out the issue first you have to make another Admin account I did this by following this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7awY1KI2s8
DON'T USE THE SAME PASSWORD THAT YOU USED ON YOUR OTHER ACCOUNT I HAD PROBLEMS BECAUSE I DID THAT
If you are experiencing the same issues as me where the password didn't work
follow these steps to change the password
Restart the Mac
During when it's booting up go into recovery mode.
Once in recovery mode open up Terminal.
Enter this and then press enter: resetpassword
Reset password for the admin account that was made.
log into your new admin account and then make your other account an admin user.
Restart computer and then login to your account.
The problem is – input language is not eng, even showing it is. Try delete any other input languages – worked for me.
FWIW - I had a similar issue with DP3 following a restart (I could not login with any account). After shutting down and booting again, I was able to login again.
Had the same problem. Log in with iCloud solved it.

I want to implement a self reset password functionality for Windows 7 users. When the Logon screen prompts the domain users should be presented with a forgot password button which will open the password reset wizard. So the problem is how to add a command button to the standard windows logon screen?
I know about GINA in Windows XP as mentioned here:
Adding command button to Windows Logon screen
But this topic is 3 years old, and with Vista / Windows 7 Microsoft came up with "Microsoft Windows Credential Provider".
Those button are called "Tiles", and they are implemented in a Credential Provider. Anything you read about a Gina will not work in Vista or later.
Those tiles a created by the LogonUI.exe process, itself launched by Winlogon.exe. LogonUI.exe runs with high priviledges. You don't want to run anything there. Besides, any wizard you run will run under the system account. Security issues aside, anything that resets the password of the current user will not work.
But let's assume that you have a solution that can reset a user's password. Like a web site (or a local application) that :
Ask for the user's name
Ask some security questions
Connects to Active Directory to reset the password
Then here is a way to implement the functionality.
Create a user, a domain user if possible. Give it a name and a password easy to remember, like "reset" and "reset". Make shure that everybody knows the password.
Change the shell of that user to Internet Explorer, that you would be running in kiosk mode, pointing to your web application.
Now when someone wants to reset their password, here is what they will do :
Use the standard Windows Credential Provider, like they do every day, but with the user "reset" and the password "reset".
Instead of the normal Windows shell, they will be presented with your password reset web application.
The user resets their password and they are instructed to log off using CTRLATLDEL
They can log in with their own username and brand new password.
This idea can be improved upon if you are ready to write some code:
Instead of Internet Explorer, write a simple web application that wraps the web browser control. if the application is closed, or any other funny business, logoff.
Hack one of the Credential Provider samples to supply the well know password reset username and password, making password reset merely a click away
Change that password reset credential provider's image to reflect the password reset functionnality.
I've had Windows Authentication setup on an area of our website for some time now, and it has worked flawlessly so far.
Recently, the login prompt stopped appearing and went straight to "Page cannot be displayed" for some reason.
While connected to our network, the page works fine.
Outside our network, users are supposed to receive a login prompt but they now do not, instead receiving the "page cannot be displayed" error.
Why would this suddenly occur, and how is it fixed? I have tried removing the virtual directory and re-adding it but nothing seems to work.
The strange thing is this is only happening in IE - Google Chrome works fine (I receive the login prompt).
Is there a setting or something inside of IIS that disables this login prompt or something? It is strange it is an IE specific issue as well - there were no changes to the state of IE from one day when it was working to the next where it wasn't.
Anyone have ideas on what might be causing this?
Thanks
Oddly enough, I'd wonder why you were getting the login prompt before now.
If you're logged in to Windows and the site you're browsing to uses Windows Auth, IE will automatically try to pass the logged in user's credentials to the site (this all depends on your domain configuration/trust setup...something may have changed with those settings at the domain level that changed the behavior of your IE).
Chrome/Firefox/Safari don't have this functionality, which is why you're still getting a login prompt.
There is a checkbox in internet options->advanced tab to enable/disable Windows Authentication, but you said that there were no changes. Either way it is something to check.
It sounds like you are hitting a security setting in IE.
IE stops windows authentication information from being sent to sites that you do not trust.
You could try adding the site to your list of trusted sites.
You can start by taking a network trace both Internally and Externally, reproduce the issue and see if the request actually reaches the web server. Also, check the IIS logfile for the "Page Cannot Be Displayed" response.
Let me know if that helps or if you have more questions.

Vivek.
You need to take a network capture (www.fiddlercap.com) to get any real help with this.
IE supports the "Negotiate" protocol in addition to NTLM; Chrome and other browsers typically only support NTLM.
