Summary
The documentation page primarily describes password setting/resetting processes in a way that assumes Windows as the default or primary OS. It references features (such as 'Use same password for all virtual machines') that are not supported on Ubuntu, but does not provide equivalent Linux/Ubuntu-specific instructions or examples. There are no Linux command-line or GUI examples, and the screenshots and dialog descriptions appear Windows-centric.
Recommendations
- Include explicit instructions and screenshots for setting and resetting passwords on Linux/Ubuntu VMs, highlighting any differences in workflow.
- Provide Linux/Ubuntu-specific notes or sections, especially where features differ (e.g., explain how password management works for Ubuntu VMs if the 'same password' feature is not supported).
- Avoid presenting Windows workflows or features as the default; instead, structure documentation to address both Windows and Linux users equally, or clearly indicate when instructions are OS-specific.
- Add command-line examples for both Windows (PowerShell) and Linux (bash/ssh) where applicable.
