How to Inject Password Windows Server 2012 on Nova Openstack (EN)

Cannot Reset Password Administrator

This case occurred after migrating virtual machines from virtualbox to openstack, When I wanted to enter the console, I forgot the password on the windows server.

After I looked for a way to get into the windows server, I found a way to inject the password from ~/ssh/rsa_id on the openstack server.

First, login to admin.rc

source /etc/kolla/admin.rc

Second go to the openstack osclient env

source osclient/bin/activate

Then try to see the list of windows server instances that you want to access through the console

openstack server list

openstack server list

Then enter this command

nova get-password NAME_INSTANCES~/.ssh/id_rsa

Then try to enter the last credentials or code from the command earlier
