  • 1.  Windows Server instance Password Retrieval problem

    Posted Thu October 06, 2022 04:21 PM
    Hello! 
    I created a Windows Server Virtual instance and configured a private SSH key. And then on my local computer, I installed IBM CLI so I could access my IBM cloud account using the following command; 
    ibmcloud login​

    And then, I had to connect to my instance using the following CLI command;

    ibmcloud is instance-initialization-values INSTANCE [--private-key (KEY | @KEY_FILE) [--private-key-passphrase

    The above command is supposed to retrieve the Windows server instance password based on the private Key I integrated while creating it. But the problem is that I'm getting  something like this on my terminal; 

    Encrypted password   BSCULpEBMXZ6xQgH0IfA7pqGo+UFTV3Rl6dItayoz5L9kHPZaajXJfWfvdBgx2JzqdCVXcoNsAxe+tRJS1yYp1wRI0/vhNXxvR7StNHr2YbE+wItvjLpyoiKW40UvrFEMawsvNi3LISjBtzwzoaLpFwmer5f0bWZe6E5Xb5VPn4sTwJHxhhXK+b7Dy8h/7m9+DxPeBvKupRcTbcWPtZPJ0Xkci7v6IOAwZtd4lUgcUiPJF0e7XGNCHq4VUqDi6tfzW07J5mAFmfD/+Z29DOb63Qd25uLMqsXOxf9ujJsZXSEQ7tTnGEOFs02ZjpJXRVX7gzaMZX23XNBlHjGLDSpKg==

    Basically, I'm not getting the password I need to RDP into my Windows Server instance. Please I need help here so I can solve this problem. I will appreciate any info that could help me on this issue.
