Resetting a desktop user password

1. Open the user desktop showcase.

2. If the desktop you want to connect to has the Stopped status, run it by clicking and confirm the action.

   Wait for the desktop status to change to Active.

3. Click and confirm the password reset.

4. Save a new password from the pop-up window and close it.

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI yet, install and initialize it.

The folder specified in the CLI profile is used by default. You can specify a different folder through the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

1. View the description of the CLI command to reset a desktop password:

   yc desktops desktop reset-password --help
   

2. Get a list of desktops in the default folder:

   yc desktops desktop list
   

   Result:

   +----------------------+------------------+--------+----------------------+---------------------+
   |          ID          |       NAME       | STATUS |   DESKTOP GROUP ID   |   CREATED (UTC-0)   |

3. Select the ID of the desktop you need.

4. Reset the desktop password:

   yc desktops desktop reset-password \
     --id <desktop_ID> \
     --user-account-id <user_ID>
   

   Where:

   • --id: Desktop ID.
   • --user-account-id: ID of the user the desktop is created for.
