Hi,

One of my instances is complaining that I need to change the Administrator password. I did this from the Cloud Share environments screen, but I need to do it within the VM itself. When I try to do this, I'm prompted to insert a password disk or something of that nature. Can someone provide me the steps to change Administrator's password within the environment?

  I suggest you to this:
  1. Change the password back to the old one in 'CloudShare environments screen'
  2. RDP/Console access to the vm
  3. Change the password on the vm itself
  4. Change the password on 'CloudShare environments screen'

  The reason for this is CloudShare uses the configured password in order to auto-login into the vm, and that might caused you the issue (because password didn't match)
