Obtaining the Password for Logging In to 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.
