Windows VMs on Compute Engine can be remotely accessed using the RDP. The simplest way to use RDP with GCE instances is by navigating to the instances list in Cloud Console using a Chrome browser and clicking RDP. This will launch an RDP session using the Chrome RDP for Google Cloud Platform Chrome extension. Other RDP clients may also be used by simply using the instance's public IP address and port 3389.

gcloud compute reset-windows-password <INSTANCE_NAME>
