default username password not working for Hortonworks sandbox 2.3.2 on Azure

I deployed a hortonworks sandbox on Azure following the guidelines on .http://hortonworks.com/blog/hortonworks-sandbox-with-hdp-2-3-is-now-available-on-microsoft-azure-gallery/. Then, I followed the guidelines on the sandbox welcome page to open Ambari using http://{Ipaddress}:8080 and got to the Ambari login page. When I tried the default username and password admin/admin, it said the combination is invalid. I also tried the cluster username and password, and it did not work either.

Your help is highly appreciated

@Vivian Li See this in the link that you shared

1. ssh into the VM and run the following command as the root user:ambari-admin-password-reset

2. You will be prompted to enter the password. Ambari server will restart.

3. Then run command

ambari-agent restart

4. You can then go to the http://<hostname/ipaddress>:8888 which displays the splash page and click on the Ambari url. Enter the user "admin" and put the password you set previouly in step 2. You should now be able to log in as an Ambari admin.

User/Password root/hadoop doesn't work

User/Password admin/admin doesn't work

User/Password azure/azure doesn't work

User/Password my defined when creating the sandbox, works however got permission denied when you run ambari-admin-password-reset.

So any ideas?

Reinstall it and works. So Ambari user name/password is azure/azure.

I got the same error ! I connect to ssh, however we cannot change the password because we don't have the permission...

please .... can you ask which password azure put in the vm on the 2.4 version ?
