Unable to login to application servers following update

From Jim Russell @Cnb_Dev via Twitter

I'm unable to login to one of my application servers. This started after installing the recommended server update files.

I receive, "Your credentials did not work.  The credentials that were used to connect to <servername> did not work.  Please enter new credentials."

I had been logging into the server's built-in "azureuser" account up until the server installed updates and then restarted.  The azureuser account was established when I initially setup the VM. 

I'll try your suggestions and update this post with the results.

Where do I configure who can access the VM windows server?  As stated previously, when I provisioned the server, it prompted me for the azureuser's password.  Up until the windows up/reboot, I had been using that account to login with.

If I go to subscriptions and select manage administrators, I see where the account that I login into the azure portal with is an administrator.  Does this mean this account should have the ability to login to the windows VM?
