gcloud compute reset-windows-password

NAME: gcloud compute reset-windows-password - reset and return a password for a Windows machine instance
SYNOPSIS: gcloud compute reset-windows-password INSTANCE_NAME [--user=USER] [--zone=ZONE] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]
DESCRIPTION: gcloud compute reset-windows-password allows a user to reset and retrieve a password for a Windows virtual machine instance. If the Windows account does not exist, this command will cause the account to be created and the password for that new account will be returned.
For Windows instances that are running a domain controller, running this command creates a new domain user if the user does not exist, or resets the password if the user does exist. It is not possible to use this command to create a local user on a domain-controller instance.
NOTE: When resetting passwords or adding a new user to a Domain Controller in this way, the user will be added to the built in Admin Group on the Domain Controller. This will give the user wide reaching permissions. If this is not the desired outcome then Active Directory Users and Computers should be used instead.
For all other instances, including domain-joined instances, running this command creates a local user or resets the password for a local user.
WARNING: Resetting a password for an existing user can cause the loss of data encrypted with the current Windows password, such as encrypted files or stored passwords.
The user running this command must have write permission for the Google Compute Engine project containing the Windows instance.
EXAMPLES: To reset the password for user 'foo' on a Windows instance 'my-instance' in zone 'us-central1-f', run:
gcloud compute reset-windows-password my-instance --zone=us-central1-f --user=foo
POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS: INSTANCE_NAME

Name of the instance to operate on. For details on valid instance names, refer to the criteria documented under the field 'name' at: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/reference/rest/v1/instances
FLAGS: --user=USER

USER specifies the username to get the password for. If omitted, the username is derived from your authenticated account email address.

--zone=ZONE

Zone of the instance to operate on. If not specified, you might be prompted to select a zone (interactive mode only). gcloud attempts to identify the appropriate zone by searching for resources in your currently active project. If the zone cannot be determined, gcloud prompts you for a selection with all available Google Cloud Platform zones.
To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, the user can set the compute/zone property:
gcloud config set compute/zone ZONE

A list of zones can be fetched by running:
gcloud compute zones list

To unset the property, run:
gcloud config unset compute/zone

Alternatively, the zone can be stored in the environment variable CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_ZONE.
