• 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.

  I hope this helps.

• 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.

  Thank you

• Customization of the Home/Root/Top option for bread crumbs.

  Hello:

  I want to know if there is a way to customize the 'Name of the Home Page' text in the dialog box for formatting Options from the navigation bar. The drop down menu lists three options: home page, the roots and the albums. I want to have my custom text, but I see no way to disable the 'Name of the Home Page' text and provide one in the text field "Label".

  Example: I want the navigation bar to say "MyDoc > book blah > topic Bleh" rather than "Home > book blah > topic Bleh. Any thoughts?

  Thank you

  K

  Hello

  If you use Robo7 or Robo8 and add the bread crumbs from the WebHelp navigation window, follow these steps:

  In the WebHelp dialog box (when you select file |) Generate primary layout / file | Generate | Main page layout), you can check to add bread crumbs. Click the Format button, and in the name of the homepage field, select a different name from the list or type your own.

  There is probably a way when you use placeholder of bread crumbs, but I don't use that.

• Change the root password interactively

  Hello
  I want to change the password of root interactively using a configuration script, where I change many more parameters, without specifying the new root password in the configuration script.

  Very strange but this script works now and I wouldn't change a thing!

  I was close PowerGui Script Editor, and then open it again when I received your second answer. Indeed, very strange, but I guess I got a lot to learn about Powershell yet!

  Thanks for your quick responses so!

  Is it possible to ask a user for a password for the administrator (Windows) or root (Linux) on the "new application" accounts form which you can then use to set the password for the respective account on the vCAC deployment plan?

  that means when I call 'fglam d' and I can read

• Can I change the root password in VoP Server Explorer?

  Hello

  I was encouraged to see VoP Server Explorer, but my network does not have any system to have a default root password. Can I change the root user password?

  Thank you!

  Jennifer Flanagan

  Altogether.  Just connect to the console as root and type 'passwd' to change the root password.  Be sure to keep track of what you set, because there is little recourse except in single-user mode if it goes astray.

• Cisco VCS: You can change the root within the TSH Admin password?

  I know you can reset password "admin" to root, by running the tsh, but you can change the 'root' password in the 'admin' tsh?

  Hi David,

  No you can not change it until and unless you follow the documented procedure to reset the password using console.

  However, you can go to t-root shell using the command 'tsh' and set up a new admin account, then log into the VCS GUI admin with new administrator and reset the password for the default Administrator account.

  Thank you
