Cannot change the default root password

Try to change the password of the administrator of the root of the ESXi 4.1.

For any password just keep getting the following message is displayed:

Call "HostLocalAccountManager.UpdateUser" to object "ha-localacctmgr" on ESXi «...» "failed.

In order to change the root password, you need to connect to the ESXi server from the console.

Connect to the ESX console using the root password.

#passwd new password

This will change your root password.

  • The default root password factory NB100

    Anyone know what the default root password factory for a NB100 with Ubuntu 8.04 installed.

    There is no password for root on Ubuntu, the root account is disabled from direct and interactive logins.

    The first 'ordinary' created user will be in the "admin" group, and so after cutting as a normal user, you can use "sudo" to run commands as root temporarily.

  • Cannot change the default e-mail program

    I tried to change the default email program in Vista to Thunderbird by following the instructions found on many sites (Control Panel, programs by default, set your default programs, and then I select Thunderbird, then I click on "set this program as default").

    However, when I try to send a document as an attachment directly from the application in question (Adobe Acrobat, Microsoft Word, etc.), I get an error message that says: "no profiles have been created.  To create a new profile, use the Mail icon in Control Panel.  I believe that used to work at some point, although I did have this computer for a long time, so maybe it's that he has never worked on this computer.

    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    It is usually the case with an update of Office, it will reset Outlook as the e-mail Manager by default and assign it all by default available values.  You will need to return to "default programs |" Set your default programs and reset Thunderbird as default and there all available default values assigned.  It is usually a good idea to set Thunderbird as default under "default programs |" The value of program access computer settings by default and after finishing upward on the tab "Set your default programs" by Ramesh was mailed. Please do not forget that * every * Office Update, you receive will probably reset Outlook as Manager default e-mail, and you will need to repeat this process whenever they do.

  • Cannot change the default installation directory (missing ProgramFilesDir)

    I'm changing the default installation on my computer directory.  I looked at the number of threads here that cover the topic.  I go to regedit and follow this path: 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion' but I can't find the value 'ProgramFilesDir.' "  It's on Windows 7, 64-bit.

    Your much more course using the option 'tailor-made' for each program you want to install. Most of the applications have this option. Change the system variable or the registry entry can cause other issues, you may not like.

  • No HDMI Audio, could not play the test tone, cannot change the default playback device

    Hello, I have real trouble with my HP Pavilion dv6-2160us experience (with the i3 - 330 M, no dedicated graphics card) Windows 7-64 bit, SP1 PC and I would be happy to help.

    I created a new thread because, despite the fact that many other people have experienced a problem similar to this and have posted what has worked for them, nothing has worked for me.

    The problem (s):

    My main problem is that I can not any audio to play from my PC to my HDTV HDMI.

    When I plug my HDMI cable on my PC and the TV, the TV is recognized in the playback devices, but nothing he can play.

    When I try to test the TV in playback devices, I get an error "could not play the test tone.

    In addition, I want to mention a few other odd behavior that I think can be a part of the main problem.

    In playback devices, I can't change anything. I can't disable or enable a device, I can not set as default playback or communication devices, and I can't save changes to the properties of the device. Whenever I try to change something, as the default playback device, nothing happens, or the changes are immediately reversed.

    The Question:

    How can I get audio to play through HDMI on my PC (is not a problem with the TV, my other machines HP audio playback over HDMI it is fine)?

    What I tried:

    I tried:

    • Change the default playback devices, which I am unable to do
    • The utilities of reading Audio de Windows 7 running in a clean boot state
    • Uninstall and reinstall the driver Intel(r) Audio display
    • Uninstallation and reinstallation of the IDT High Definition Audio CODEC
    • Uninstall the IDT Audio PC program under programs and features
    • Disable the IDT High Definition Audio CODEC

    Nothing has worked.

    The drivers I have are the latest issued by HP

    How can I get this to work? I would appreciate help.

    I'm at the point where I'm willing to try solutions quite technically involved, so feel free to post those.

    Your expertise is greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    OK, I finally have the answer for that.

    If you experience this problem even and you want to fix it, you'll need a PC running the same version of Windows 7 that your PC works lot of work but it works without problems, with regard to this point.

    Here's what I did to solve the problem:

    1. Create a system restore point.
    2. Run regedit.exe as administrator.
    3. Go to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\MMDevices \Audio .
    4. Compare the permissions and attributes of ownership of this key and all subkeys to your work PC.
    5. Change all permissions and property attributes for interest on the defective PC keys as they are the same as those on the operation of the PC.
    6. Restart your faulty computer.

    I hope this helps. It worked for me.

  • Cannot change the default program for opening .dll

    For some reason any, since I first linked the default program to open files .dll with Visual C++ 2010 Express (which is not truly attempt open, but instead of it gave me a message somewhere near the lines of "File not supported - Type does not open", incidentally) by chance I could not change since. I took a screenshot of the dialog box to try to change (URL below after all), but I noticed that the box was grayed out (the theme I have is a modified version of the classic Windows theme, but on 7, to clarify the operating system). I also tried to select a file after having hit the "Browse" button, but it didn't open anything. I tried several programs in the present to open, much less to change the default value (these are two notable examples): Netbeans - primarily an IDE for Java, but can open binary files even if she's not actually modify them (note: I changed absolutely nothing on any of them even if I has modified it to make it the default program but this problem affects more than just the ones) (, and it did not start until the last default) and Notepad. I went through the 'Open with' dialog box, and this is where I first encountered the problem of it (described above) outside the Control Panel, which it wouldn't let me change the association of file of it in particular, even if I didn't have one of these questions with any other type of file I tried to change, before or after this madness.

  • What should I do on vCenter vSphere Web Client after you change the host root password?

    Hello

    When we implemented vCenter our Organization, we used a regular password to the account 'root' on each ESXi host.

    So, I installed vCenter and added the hosts on it to manage.

    When I added them, they've asked for the root password power connect.

    Ok. Everything was fine.

    Now, we want to change the password to root for each ESXi host.

    My question is: what should I do to make sure that vCenter will always be able to connect to the ESXi hosts, because the account used to connect the first time change his password?

    My question is: what should I do to make sure that vCenter will always be able to connect to the ESXi hosts, because the account used to connect the first time change his password?

    Nothing, after the host is added to vCenter, a user named vpxuser is created automatically on the ESXi host and vCenter uses this user to connect and manage the host.

  • Question - change the stupid root passwords


    I use the same passwords for root for too long to my vm hosts and need to change to improve safety.    The hosts are all added in Vcenter and clustered.    If I change the root password of the individial hosts, is what it's going to break the bond of vcenter?    I know that you type in passwords for root when connecting host to vcenter, but then it installs vpxuser, then I guess it should not occupy root changes after that.   I just wanted to confirm with someone who did this recently.

    (5.0 and 5.1 with Vcenter 5.1 ESXi)

    Hello

    No, the root passwords change does not affect the vCenter.  No link will be broken. It authenticates just the first time that you add the vCenter Server inventory.

    You even change passwords on multiple hosts in a row only to avoid the hassle of Power-Cli scripts.

  • cannot change the xp administrator password...

    someone had blocked my access to the internet... I tried to change the admin by regedit, ctrl + alt + delete, start mode without failure, mmc, cmd, but which is not supposed...

    It always seems system error... I don't know what else to do... Please help me... Thank you...

    Hey Shanks red hair.

    In addition to what John said, it looks like there may be a minimum age for the password, in translation, that means that you can not change the password until a certain period of time elapsed. To check or change this:
    Log in as an administrator and start the command prompt:
    Start-> Run-> "cmd".
    Type this in the command prompt:
    NET user myusername (enter your specific username in place of "myusername")

    The results should contain a line that says:
    "Editable password
    If this date is in the future, then you have a minimum age of set password.

    While you're at the command prompt, enter the command:
    net accounts

    and search for "password Minimum age (days).  If it is not zero, then you can set it to zero by entering the command:
    NET accounts /MINPWAGE:0

    I hope that was helpful. Thank you for using Microsoft Answers!
