To uninstall the plug-in, see Uninstall the Password Reset Plugin from a Linux VM.

The one-click password reset plug-in does not support Kunpeng servers.

Prerequisites

A Linux VM must have larger than 600 MB remaining space and data can be written to its root directory.

Procedure

  1. Download password reset plug-in CloudResetPwdAgent.zip.

    There is no special requirement for the directory where you store the plug-in package.

    wget http://cn-south-1-cloud-reset-pwd.obs.cn-south-1.myhuaweicloud.com/linux/64/reset_pwd_agent/CloudResetPwdAgent.zip

  2. Run the following command to decompress CloudResetPwdAgent.zip:

    There is no special requirement for the directory where you decompress the plug-in package.

    unzip -o -d Directory where the plug-in is decompressed CloudResetPwdAgent.zip

    For example, if the plug-in is decompressed in the /home/linux/test directory, run the following command:

    unzip -o -d /home/linux/test CloudResetPwdAgent.zip

  3. Install CloudResetPwdAgent and CloudResetPwdUpdateAgent.
    1. Run the following command to enter CloudResetPwdUpdateAgent.Linux:
