    Hello @GN, Yashas (Cognizant) ,

    Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Q&A platform. Happy to answer your question.
    If this is an Azure VM, and you need to reset the local administrator password, you can do that in below 2 ways

    1. Reset by using the Azure portal.
    2. Reset by using the VMAccess extension and PowerShell

    $SubID = "<SUBSCRIPTION ID>"

    $RgName = "<RESOURCE GROUP NAME>"

    $VmName = "<VM NAME>"

    $Location = "<LOCATION>"

    Connect-AzAccount

    Select-AzSubscription -SubscriptionId $SubID

    Set-AzVMAccessExtension -ResourceGroupName $RgName -Location $Location -VMName $VmName -Credential (get-credential) -typeHandlerVersion "2.0" -Name VMAccessAgent
    Hope this helps

    If this is any other VM or machine, do let me know in your comments by tagging me.
