Type and confirm your new password and click on “Change”. You can now log in using your new password.

View Change

A vDC user has access to two different user interfaces: the “User” view and the “Cloud” view. The “User” view allows the user to access the more advanced functionalities of OpenNebula. The “Cloud” view is a simplified user interface, which allows a user to deploy virtual machines (VMs) and to monitor and manage the running VMs as well as other limited functionalities.

To change to the “Cloud” view, start from the “Configuration” Screen (see Password Change) and click on “Conf”:
