Hello Helpful People in this community,
I'm running ESXi 5.5 and using VMware vSphere Client (see screenshot below), FREE Version (in German).
I can't log in anymore as root - although I'm quite sure I'm using the correct password (but then again ...
A 'connection error' window pops up, stating that the Login cannot be done due to a wrong user name or password.
I read that reinstalling is necessary in order to reset the password, but WHAT to reinstall? The VSphere Client or ESXi?
I guess it must be ESXi (presumably the password is stored there somewhere) - but if I reinstall, surely my virtual machines will get destroyed, correct?
Is there anyone among you who knows an elegant solution? Please ...I really mustn't lose my VMs ...
THANK YOU
Philipp
