Obtaining the Password of a Windows BMS

Function

This API is used to query the random password of the administrator (account Administrator or an account configured using Cloudbase-Init) generated by the system during the installation of a Windows BMS.

If the BMS is created from a private image, ensure that Cloudbase-Init has been installed. Cloudbase-Init is installed on public images by default.

Debugging

You can debug this API in API Explorer.
