I have been looking at this question and most of it makes sense but a lot of it is going over my head. I'm a software developer and my I.T Admin' has left leaving me with hard job of unlocking a virtual machine we need to recover.
I would like to recover the VM and use it again. The research link I was reading above, suggests it is do-able but I need this breaking down for me as I am getting lost at the booting from a vm and running specialist software on it.
Apologies for the spoon feed me approach, but I have spent the better part of a weekend trying to do this via powershell but as an early adopter of azure, the vm in question does not have the azure vm agent installed on it which means 95% of all help on the web on this matter is instantly ruled out. I tried resetting the password from the portal but that does not work either.
All i have is the vhd of the os disk downloaded of the vm I want to save. Can you guys help me recover the admin password of it?
