So, don’t blame me in case you mess things up. Some methods to reset the passwords may be pretty risky. No fun! What if I don’t want to (or cannot) do that? In this article, I’m looking for a better way to reset the password.įor this article, I use ESXi 6.7.0, 8169922, but everything I write here works good for ESXi 6.x or 5.x versions. You see, when things like that happen, the first thing you do you look through some official documentation, right? Unfortunately, the only thing VMware advices to reset passwords is re-installing the OS. Want to know why I wrote this article? I want to help other VMware admins. Well, resetting an ESXi host password is the thing I gonna talk about in this article. Well, ESXi root passwords are not an exception either! Without the root password, you lose control over your hosts, so it’s good to know how to reset it. Passwords are the things people tend to forget.
