I don't know if I'm pushing you anymore.....Can you reset your ESXi root password or you're forced to bypass it?

ESXi510-201412101-SG from the patch portal is Build Number: 2323236

which is commonly known as ESXi 5.5 U3

https://www.vmware.com/patchmgr/findPatch.portal

So what is the current build number of your ESXi 5.5, which can be found, in the Summary Page when checked with vSphere Client.

PowerCLI, why not use the

VMware Community Pack
http://www.virtu-al.net/featured-scripts/vmware-powerpack/

or use RV Tools - http://www.robware.net/

Both will report the Build Number!
