Azure Marketplace deployments — first boot
Every image ships without any shared or default password. On the VM's first boot, a unique
random admin password is generated for your VM and saved to a root-only file. There is no well-known credential to change.
- Deploy the offer from the Azure Marketplace (Get It Now → Create), choosing your SSH key at the Administration step.
- Allow inbound SSH (22) for yourself plus the application port(s) listed on the product's support page — restrict to your own IP where possible.
- SSH in and print the generated admin password (exact path on each product page below), sign in to the app with the account named on that page (
admin on most offers, but not all), and change the password immediately.
Grafana + Prometheus (Azure) — fixed in image version 2026.915.2216: the first-boot
reset of the generated admin password now reaches the database the running server reads, and the sign-in is proven
before the password file is written (published 2026-09-16, image-factory PR #204). New deployments take that
version by default. Older versions stay selectable on the offer and still reject the generated password at
http://<VM-IP>:3000/ — on a VM deployed before 2026-09-16, or one pinned to an older version, use the
one-command manual reset on the
Grafana + Prometheus support page.
Known issues on current images (as of 2026-10-14) — our latest image sweep found a customer-affecting defect on the newest published build of these offers. Each page states what you will see, the workaround where one exists, and the fix status:
Oracle Cloud Marketplace images
Launch procedure, generated-credential location and ports for each of our Oracle Cloud listings —
see the Oracle Cloud support hub for the steps every image shares.
Azure Marketplace quick-start pages
Per-product sign-in URLs, ports, and admin-password locations — one page for every Azure Marketplace offer.
Deployed an offer that isn't listed above? The same pattern applies — check
/var/lib/<app>/admin-password,
/root/<app>-admin-credentials.txt or
/root/.<db>-initial-password (the credential file holds the username too where one is generated — it is
not always
admin), or just email
support@dcassociatesgroup.com and we'll get you sorted.
