Change the password on a host

Hello

I just added a new host for my vCenter and it had the default password. I noticed a warning icon, and I don't see anywhere on vCenter to allow me to change the password. I know that sounds obvious, but surely vCenter will allow me to change the password on a host - have I missed an obvious option in the menu somewhere or I have to delete the host to vCenter and Add again once I changed it from the console?

You cannot change passwords for ESX for vCenter. You must open a session to the ESX directly using the vSphere Client and change. All users passwords can be changed when the host is connected to the vCenetr without problem - just the vpxuser is not editable (the vCenter user uses to connect to the ESX host and have a random password that is stored on the database of vCenter).

  • How to change the password at END?

    Hello

    Can someone provide me with info on how a guest user can change his own password where NGS (NAC comments Server) is the Radius Server?

    It would also be useful to know if the admins or sponsor may change this password too, thoug my guess is it is not possible.

    I have already set up the password for clients policy to allow them to change the password. I just do not realize how it can be done.

    Thank you!

    CORRECTION:

    While poking around just now, I found an explanation for how Allow / change password options requires actually used:

    http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/docs/security/NAC/guestserver/configuration_guide/20/g_hotspots.html#wpxref88934

    It seems that this can be used if the END is hosting the portal web connection.

  • Cannot connect to the development environment after changing the password successfully.

    Hello

    I was the Admin for an APEX (5) tool (hosted by apex.oraclecorp.com).

    I forgot the password.
    So, when I clicked on the change in usual password and received the email. I was able to change the password and when checked in the re-login, it didn't quite work.

    Yet once I clicked on reset password so this time, when I pasted the link to my mail it showed the error below.

    "Session state protection violation: this can be caused by a manual change to a URL containing a checksum or using a link with a missing or incorrect checksum." If you don't know what caused this error, contact the administrator of the application for assistance.

    Contact your application administrator.


    Since then, I am not able to access the App.


    No work around for this?


    Help is very appreciated.


    Thank you.

    Hi PKMRAO,

    the password reset link you get in email is specific to the session of the APEX where your asked to reset. When you click on reset the password, leave this window open, is not it not nowhere elsewhere to sail. Wait until you get the mail and then open the link in the same browser.

    Kind regards

  • 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

    y at - it something I have left out. I really appreciate any assistance that you people can provide.

    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

  • 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.

  • Cannot connect to gmail after changing the password

    I changed my gmail password yesterday, but since he could not connect and a message appeared asking me to go to: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/78754

    I have already try to disconnected and connecte connected to my account gmail in Firefox, use the DisplayUnlockCaptcha and permit apps less secure access my mails. But none of this works.

    In case the problem was thank Thunderbird too often connected, I also gave it a night and I tried again this morning, but no luck. I can access my email in the web and app Android gmail, but not Thunderbird.

    Are there other solutions to this problem?

    I finally found the solution after the addition of another account in Thunderbird with the same email.

    My original account has been set to use the "Normal password" as authentication method, and it worked fine, until I changed the password.
    But after adding the new account, I noticed gmail utilisΘ 'OAuth2.

    Changing the "Normal Password" to 'OAuth2' in the server settings-> authentication method, fixed the problem.

  • If you say that you have sent me Email to change the password, they have not been received.

    If you say that you have sent me Email to change the password, they have not been received.

    Several times I used sync for tranzfer of information to a new computer and or updated computer!
    In the last 24 hours I've sent many requests for 'change password' for those that I tried did not work, so I can connect!

    You say you sent an email over and over again, but no one came to my email which is confirmed you have the right address!

    There is absolutely no evidence that you tried to send an email to me, I checked the spam, I even looked to see if somehow, it went one folder other then my Inbox, nothing has been received on your part!

    Michael Serota

    Removed edit email and public telephone for spammers robots do not find.

    You can enter the wrong email address. I tested 2 fake emails in the password reset page and received the green check mark telling me that the password reset emails have been sent. It is not a real confirmation that your e-mail address is used by Firefox accounts.

    This is done this way so that hackers and spammers can not cheat the system by typing many kinds of emails at random and wait to see if they get a confirmation 'this e-mail address is. So for security reasons, all the entered addresses electronic are treated as real even if there is no account that corresponds to this e-mail.

    Please try some of your other email addresses here and see if you receive a password reset email in these accounts.

  • I changed my password of gmail e-mail. How can I change the password used by Thunderbird to connect to gmail.

    I changed the password used to access my gmail account. Thunderbird still uses the old password to access the account. How can I change the password that is using Thunderbird. The last time this happened I ended up creating a new account to Thunderbird for gmail. Create the new Thunderbird account at least let me enter the new password. I don't really want to have three accounts of Thunderbird for the same gmail account.

    Please do not respond with suggestions on using password manager. I do not use it and do not want to start. I looked, and none of my Thunderbird passwords are displayed here. All I want to do is change the password in Thunderbird. If Thunderbird does not have a feature that allows you to change passwords, should be added.

    The link posted by Christ1 gives WRONG directions. In Thunderbird 24.4.0, is:
    Tools, Options, security, passwords, saved passwords

    Admittedly, in fact, you want that he SHOWS you the passwords, and then you can delete them.
    Once fact you check for mail, it will tell you, it didn't, and then you have the option to enter a new password.
    MUCH too complicated. Time to put the password and the ability to change, in the e-mail account options.

  • Cannot change the password on disk external HARD Gigastore

    All G´Day. Hope someone can help me and I don't have to format this drive...

    Had recently changed the password disk and curiosity entry "not enough space", as hitting the SPACEBAR once, as the new pw. Repeated, agreed and worked.

    However, now I can't access the drive more. Hit 'space' at the pw prompt will still have the blocked path.

    All old/new password to enter the space just tried. Nothing. The drive was my nearby since so nobody else would not change it in the meantime.

    Got some important data backed up and we hope that me to play around with this option will not end to erase everything.

    Each suggestion and help is very appreciated.

  • Change the password on external hard drive

    Hi all

    on my iMac 21.5 ", I recently updated my Mac HD internal to El Capitan 10.11.  There are now several major programs (for example MPEG Streamclip and Photoshop elements 11) which worked fine under Yosemite, but are not compatible with El Capitan.

    On an external hard drive, I installed Yosemite 10.10.2 in late 2014 when it was the last version of OS X.  Only, I installed a system on the usual external drive boot on the internal HD failure.  All of these programs (also installed on the external hard drive) work very well in Yosemite.

    When I start on the hard disc to access these programs, I had problems when I need to make changes for which the system requires a user and a password.  I don't remember what they were.  Is it possible to change the password (given that I can identify the user name in the "Users" folder), please?

    Best regards, paulranger1.

    Please open the Startup disk preferences window and select the volume on the external hard disk. You must change this selection on the internal drive after the reset of the password.

    Start in recovery mode. When OS X Utilities window, select

    Utilities ▹ Terminal

    in the menu bar at the top of the screen, not one of the items in the OS X Utilities window.

    In the window that opens, type this:

    resetp

    Press the tab key. The partial order you entered will automatically end this:

    resetpassword

    Press return. Opens a window to reset the password. Close the Terminal window to get him out of the way.

    Select the boot volume ("Macintosh HD", unless you have given it a different name) if not already selected. You won't be able to do this if FileVault is turned on.

    Select your username in the menu option allows you to select the account if not already selected.

    Follow the prompts to reset the password. It is safer to choose a password that includes only the characters a - z, A - Z and 0-9.

    Select

    ▹ Restart 

    in the menu bar.

    You should now be able to login with the new password, but will reset the keychain (empty). If you have forgotten the password for the keychain (which is normally the same as the password for the connection), there is no way to recover it.
