Login Overview (Windows)

Only a running ECS can be logged in.
The username for logging in to a Windows ECS is Administrator.
Certain G-series ECSs do not support remote login from the console. If you need to remotely log in to the ECSs, install the VNC server on them. For details, see GPU-accelerated ECSs. You are suggested to log in to the ECSs using MSTSC.

You can choose from a variety of login modes based on your local OS type.
