      During the deployment only a password was specified for our specific account.
      What is the default root password that is applied when using the image from the Azure Marketplace?

      Thx!

        The admin/root password is set to that entered for the new user created at launch. See:

          The at launch user is not present in the sudoers which has limited access.
          Currently solved this by using the serial console in Azure which logs you in as root.

            But the admin user should be given the same password as that new user. That is done as Azure won't allow using the admin user directly.
