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 then confirming the action.

   Wait for the desktop status to change to Active.

3. Click and confirm the password reset.

4. Save the new password from the pop-up window that appears, then close the window.

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud (CLI) command line interface yet, install and initialize it.

The folder specified when creating the CLI profile is used by default. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can specify a different folder using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

1. See the description of the CLI command for resetting 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)   |
   +----------------------+------------------+--------+----------------------+---------------------+
   | e3vmvhgbgac4******** | my-cloud-desktop | ACTIVE | e3v1rbln45tl******** | 2024-10-09 22:42:28 |
   | e3vio1bc5ppz******** | reserved-desktop | ACTIVE | e3v1rbln45tl******** | 2024-10-09 21:35:17 |
   +----------------------+------------------+--------+----------------------+---------------------+
   

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: Desktop user ID.

Use the resetPassword REST API method for the Desktop resource or the DesktopService/ResetPassword gRPC API call.
