Anand:Hello!Thanks for reaching out to Azure Portal Chat. My name is Anand and I'll be helping you today.05:58 PM
Joel McKenzie:Hi, sorry, I got distracted.05:59 PM
Joel McKenzie:I was looing for an answer to my connectin issue.05:59 PM
Anand:I see you had a chat with my colleague before. Let me check the transcript and get back.06:00 PM
Joel McKenzie:ok06:01 PM
Anand:Okay, so do you see this error "the user account is currently disabled and cannot be used" while trying to connect to your VM?06:03 PM
Joel McKenzie:yes06:03 PM
Joel McKenzie:now it's not connecting at all..06:04 PM
Anand:Can you try resetting the password but picking a new username instead of the one you are trying? So for example, if your user is AzureUser try resetting the password but with a username of AzureUser1. This will create a new admin user. From there once you log into the VM you can manually fix the password of the original user and delete the new one.06:04 PM
Joel McKenzie:ok, i'll try now06:05 PM
Anand:Sure, if that doesn't work you may also refer the following discussion on a similar issue and see if it helps: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35022035/azure-vm-connection-error-the-user-account-is-currently...06:05 PM

If you are still experiencing this issue with being able to RDP to your VM, please open a support ticket. Losing RDP is typically an underlying issue with the 'compute' resources and requires investigation for each situation where this is occurring.
