Can't connect to RDP from Compute Engine

I have created an instance of Windows server 2008 but it does not connect to RDP..........

I tried by using Remote Desktop Connection and RDP Extension of Chrome, but it ended with the same result.

It just displays that "Chrome does not connect to "

Should I do some changes with firewall or anything else????

All I had to do was follow the instructions here.

Specifically I had to:

Install gcloud/CLOUD SDK

Run this command:

gcloud compute reset-windows-password windows-instance

Then connect using the user and password that was generated.

You should first check that port 3389 is open on the GCE firewall. If not, run a command like this to create the rule $ gcloud compute firewall-rules create rdp --allow tcp:3389 --source-ranges 0.0.0.0/0 . More info is available here.

Also, make sure you have the right username and password. This was set when you first created the instance. To check, please run $ gcloud compute instances describe INSTANCE_NAME --zone ZONE and it will give you the initial user and password.
