Logging In to a Windows ECS

Only a running ECS can be logged in to.
The username for logging in to a Windows ECS is Administrator.
If the login password is forgotten, reset the password on the ECS console.
To reset a password, locate the row containing the target ECS, click More in the Operation column, and select Reset Password from the drop-down list. For details, see Resetting the Password for Logging In to an ECS on the Management Console.
If an ECS uses key pair authentication, use the password obtaining function available on the management console to decrypt the private key used during ECS creation to obtain a password.
If you log in to a GPU-accelerated ECS using MSTSC, GPU acceleration will fail. This is because MSTSC replaces the WDDM GPU driver with a non-accelerated remote desktop display driver. In such a case, you must log in to the ECS using other methods, such as VNC. If the remote login function available on the management console fails to meet your service requirements, you must install a suitable remote login tool, such as TightVNC, on the ECS.
To download TightVNC, log in at https://www.tightvnc.com/download.php.

You can select a login mode based on your local OS type.
