Reset password is a common feature that allows you to create or reset a local administrator account on Azure VM. This feature is helpful when you forgot the account used to log into your VM. There would be a question from an InfoSec guy – can such a password be viewable in the format of plain text? In another word, is it possible technically to gain that password?
In this article, I would like to provide a demonstration of how to extract the password that you use from the Reset Password feature.
