Description:
Thank you for providing a RabbitMQ image for Azure DevTest labs. I created a VM inside a DevTest lab using the RabbitMQ Certified by Bitnami image, the VM created just fine, the machine started automatically which is great, but the Boot Diagnostics are not turned on by default. I cannot reach the first boot log to find the password generated on first boot as described in this FAQ: https://docs.bitnami.com/azure/faq/#administrator-password . Turning on boot diagnostics after the machine was started automatically by DevTest Labs doesn't help because the password is now set. How do I find or reset the RabbitMQ user account password since I can't access the first boot log?

Hi @kratka_eric_d,

Thank you for using Bitnami. You will need to access the instance using SSH and follow one of these options

Get the information for the system's log file

sudo cat /var/log/syslog | grep password

Get the information from the bitnami_credentials file (we implemented this recently)

cat ~/bitnami_credentials

Get the information from the installation files

sudo cat /opt/bitnami/var/data/bitnami_credentials/credentials

Let us know if any of these options work for you

Thanks
