Deleting the Password of a Windows BMS

Function

This API is used to delete the random password generated during initial Windows BMS installation. After the password is deleted, you can still use your password to log in to your BMS. However, you cannot use the Get Password function to recover the BMS initial password.

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.
