I am new to Microsoft Azure, and have tried to created a VM under my trial subscription. I followed the online instructions step by step, but when I try to login to the machine using Remote Desktop (and again, following the online instructions carefully), I could not -- I keep on getting the error message "Your credentials did not work." I have been trying various things for hours now, all to no avail. Based on what other people with the same problem have tried in the past, I tried all of the following:
* Restart the VM. (I tried this multiple times.)
* Resize the VM downward, then resize back up.
* Change the Remote Desktop public port to 3389.
* Use the IP address directly instead of the DNS name.
Nothing, absolutely nothing, makes any difference whatsoever.
