Obtaining the Password of an ECS¶
Function¶
This API is used to obtain the random password generated during initial Windows ECS installation for user Administrator or the configured Cloudbase-init user when you use an image that supports Cloudbase-Init to create a Windows ECS.
After starting an ECS, wait for 5 to 10 minutes and ensure that the password is injected. Then, you can use this API to query the password.
Linux ECSs do not use this API to obtain a password.
