Change of password ESXi 4

I just install ESXi v4 and trying to change the password to the "console", I get an error related to a change of password failed. There is also language about the meeting of complexity, but the installation is fresh and no configuration changes were made that info server IP. I tried simple and complex passwords, but the system does not accept everything. Everyone knows this?

Thanks for the replies.

  • Help, I changed the password of root ESXi via powerCli, now I can not connect with the web client or the console.

    Help, I've changed the root ESXi via powerCli password, now I can not connect with the web client or the console, but I can still connect to powerCli. The command I used was;

    SE connect-VIServer esxihostname-user root - password newpasswd

    This production network btw, I have connected to each host and run the above command, these ESXi hosts are not on a domain

    Thank you, Joe

    It is probably a longshot, but a lot of things in the land of windows is not sensitive to capital letters as Unix is.  I wonder if your new password you put through powerCLI mixed uppercase in it and if the capitalization was abandoned by command windows powerCLI Analyzer, or he interpreted as all capitals or something.   If you can still get through the powerCLI you could try to reset the password again to something simple without capitalization mixed case and if your password on ESXi strategy requires a special character, try something different than a "$", like a "_" (I find that a '_' is less likely than some other special characters (, as a '-' or a ' / ' to cause problems with analyzers.).

    Edit:

    Another thing, you can try before playing with the password once again, is to create a different username ESXi using powerCLI and see if the password ends up what you think, it should be, and if you can get with the client vsphere using it.  In this way, you can find out if there are some problems with certain characters or Cap through command powerCLI Analyzer without losing your remaining root by powerCLI access.  After some tests, you can understand what went wrong with your initial password change and may be able to fix it with less risk of losing access.  I also assume that you can not create a new username on ESXi who is able to change the root password no matter what authority give you it, otherwise, you could create a new username with PowerCLI, then connect to the client vsphere with it and change the password to root from there.

  • change the password for root esxi and esx?

    Hello

    Is there an easy way to change passwords for root of esx esxi via powercli hosts?

    Thank you!!!

    You can use the Set-VMHostAccount cmdlet to change the password of an ESX/ESXi server. Remember that you must connect directly to the host to do.

    SE connect-VIServer-Server ESX1.yourdomain .com - user root - password secret

    Game-VMHostAccount - UserAccount root - password topsecret

  • Change of password complexity

    Hi all

    New on ESX/vSphere 5 and have been using it on a computer test with good results.  One problem I have is the complexity of password.

    How can I remove the need to have complex passwords and possibly remove the exigencies of any moment in function to change the passwords?

    Thank you

  • Every day someone is trying to connect my Iphone. Do I have to change my password every time?

    Every day someone is trying to connect my Iphone6. Do I have to change my password every time? How can I stop this?

    Your post says that someone is trying to connect 'on' your iPhone 6 - have - they possession of the phone or they try to connect your Apple from another device ID?

    Note also that there are a number of phishing scams that send e-mails that appear to come from Apple, but are not current. Do not use any links in these emails if you are not.

    If they are trying only to log in instead of sign in successfully it would be not necessary to change your password. However, you can consider on for Apple ID - Apple Support two-factor authentication or frequently asked questions about check in two steps for Apple ID - Apple Support (if available) for more security.

    If they are correctly connected, see: If you think that your ID Apple has been compromised - Apple supports

  • How to change my password

    I lost my iphone and I feel that the access code on the flavor of the screen is low and how I can change the access code?

    You can't if you don't have the phone. Did you have settings > iCloud > find iPhone activated on this subject - if you did you could try the location via http://www.icloud.com on a computer or find an iPhone app on another iOS device (it will only potentially locate if it is connected to a network).

    If you think it was stolen, then you must report it to the police. You should also change your password for the iTunes, your passwords by e-mail account and no password that you had stored on the sites Web/e-mail/notes etc and contact your carrier.

  • My email has been hacked and used to send Spam. I have to perform a virus check, or simply change the password?

    My email has been hacked and used to send Spam. I have to perform a virus check, or simply change the password?

    Do not install or run an anti virus app.

    How do you know that your email has been "hacked"? It is a common practice for spammers to forge an envoy from the e-mail address. It may be that your email address has been misused. There's nothing to do if this is the case for you. The spammer will soon pass and usurp another email address.

    It's a good idea to immediately change your password by email if someone would actually managed to access your e-mail account.
