Hi Experts,<br />
<br />
I am trying to reset the password for our vcenter server appliance VM. &nbsp;I have access to the web console but I do not have access to the vm console. I do not know what the root password is.<br />
<br />
I also have access to the Hosts servers as well.<br />
<br />
Is there a way for me to rest the root credentials for the &nbsp;vCenter appliance?<br />
<br />
Thanks

Resetting the VMWARE vCenter virtual Appliance 6.0

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
