If you forgot the login password, you can reset a new password.
You can reset your password in the ECS console and then log in again with the new password. To reset the password, perform the following steps:

  1. Log in to the console and click ECS to go to the ECS list page.

  2. Select the ECS for which you need to reset the password, and click More.

  3. In the drop-down menu that pops up, select Reset Password.

  4. In the pop-up window, enter a new password and confirm that it is correct. Please note that the password contains 8 to 30 characters in length, which must contain three of these types (uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters "()`~!@#$%^&*_-+=|{}[]:;'<>,.?/"), cannot start with a forward slash (/), and cannot contain consecutive characters.

  5. Click OK. A system prompt appears, indicating that your password has been reset successfully.

  6. Use the new password to log in to the ECS console and perform follow-up operations.

For more information, see Reset the Password on the console.
