There are cases when you forget the local admin password of a machine. Or worse, someone changes your password, such as a threat actor in a cybersecurity incident. This happens, and I’ve been there a few times, where a threat actor started resetting all the admins’ passwords to effectively cut them off so they couldn’t stop the ongoing attack.

With Azure VMs, it is possible to reset passwords directly from the Azure portal. Either by using a PowerShell script or by directly entering a command from the Azure portal. This works for both a local admin account and also a domain admin account if the VM in question is a domain controller.
