Q: Can't log in to Azure VM I have an Windows 8.1 VM on Azure that I've been successfully using for months. I login via the admin account that I originally set up.
Today my RDP sessions keep telling me that the password is incorrect.
So I used the Azure Portal to reset the password, but still can't get in. I've tried waiting for a while (in case updates were being installed) and I've restarted the machine.
I notice that the Portal UI says 'Provide a new user name for the built-in administrator account'. I've tried changing it with no luck.
Help?

A: Azure must have changed the username requirement.
It works if I login with host\username
Connect Azure RDP, "The logon attempt failed"

A: SOLUTION: instead of copy-paste, type the password
This solution comes from teh answer of another similar question Connect Azure RDP, "The logon attempt failed". You can have a try.
