Local administrator password when copying environment

Does the process of taking a snapshot or sharing it in a Quick Copy change the local administrator password? Should it be the same when the person opens the copy and attempts to login with the same admin password?

Thanks.

  Hi Jonas, great question. Taking a Snapshot itself does not change the login credentials for a VM.  

  However when you share a copy of your environment on to other users (or copy it within your account), the credentials are randomized by default. You can disable this function by un-checking ' Customize password' in the 'Users and Access' menu: 

  Please note you will need to take a new Snapshot after disabling Password Customization to save that setting. Each copy of your environment that is then created will have the same password as the original environment.

  Cheers, 

  Scott
