- Run PuTTY, enter the VM address in the “Host” field, and click “Open” to connect.
- In the opened console, you will need to enter a username and password that were specified when creating the virtual machine.
- Use the following command to increase privileges: > sudo su

- Enter the command: > htpasswd -B registry.password azureuser

At this stage, the basic server configuration has been completed.
