Not familiar with ubuntu on azure, but I guess it would be the same as any other vm platform. Are you trying to login with `root` or a normal user? `root` is disabled out of the box as far as I know. – scheien May 22 '14 at 05:57

i am using a normal user that i provided when i creating that vm, how can i login with root? – paul cheung May 22 '14 at 05:59

You do not generally need to login as `root` since you can do everything through `sudo`. However, if you want to enable `root` you can go `sudo passwd root`. When logging in with the normal user, are you sure that you have the right username and password combination? Both username and passwords are case sensitive when logging in through `SSH`. You question would probably be better suited for [AskUbuntu.com](http://askubuntu.com/), which also is a stackexchange q&a site. – scheien May 22 '14 at 06:05

After investigating 3 hours, i find what i am trying is on the bad way. so i put down my conclusion:
there are 2 ways in azure portal for creating windows azure virtual machine: 1.called "QUICK CREATE", in this way we will not provide its ssh key for authentication; just use a default aka fixed user name: azureuser, and the password you provide. 2."FROM GALLERY", you have to provide ssh key for authentication for login successfully.
I created my vm via the "QUICK CREATE", but i am using the wrong user name(it should be "azureuser") to login, so show me the message "Access Denied".
hope helped.
