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.

    1. Restart your computer.
    2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap theF8 key repeatedly until you are presented with theBoot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
    3. Select the Safe Mode option with the arrow keys.
    4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
    5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.

    There was a lot of risk found as part of the audit and a remediation plan was given to follow, we did the server seems to work very well except that we can not login with root:

    While intermediatery and PuTTY doin, we use the money account to log the SU to root, earleir he was working now it says Incorrect password .

    Connection through the root of the Console says Login Incorrect ,

    Any help to sort through and understand this issue would be much appreciated

    OK, your first screenshot confirmed suggestion 1 will give the ability to su username to root.  There is even a custom comment you made, in the file etc/pam.d/su, above the line that I asked you to look: ' Uncomment the next line to allow users in the wheel group are authorized to who are allowed to become root.

    1. in this case, just connect to the host with VI client root, go to the users tab and groups, among which the users regular (vmadmin is a certainty) that you are trying to su go, edit the user and add to the wheel group.  You should now be able to ssh or console (DRAC) for the ESX host and su (s) specific.

    2. Once you are root you can ' cat/etc/securetty' the console and the vc/1, vc2, lines etc. must be missing.  The missing lines from you to connect to the consle (DRAC) as root. If you want to keep the sanitation of CIS, you don't have to make other changes, in addition to 1 above.

  • I have been connected to the internet (wireless), then I unplugged the router and now I can not connect to internet. I tried diagnose the problem, but he said that he could not.

    I have a wireless internet connection for my laptop. I was connected to the internet, and it worked very well, so I had to unplug my router and all of a sudden I can't connect to the internet more. When I open the available networks, I hit connect on mine and he said: it does not work then I hit "diagnose the problem" and then, he says he can't. Also it is not even give me the option to set my password to connect to my network, but it does when I try to connect to any other.

    I suggest to unplug all your network cables and unplug the adapter from your modem AND router. ONLY plug your modem back power adapter in. Wait until you get a steady green light on your router, which indicates that it is ready. Then, connect the ethernet cable from your modem to your router INTERNET port. Connect the ethernet cable from your computer to any other ETHERNET port on your router. Finally turn the monitor for your router.

    If you do not do so in this order, the router can not connect properly to the internet because it doesn't have the correct IP address of your modem.

    Hello Renato.

    also, it shouldn't make a difference, because your access list allows any last statement, try and add the following line to your access list:

    access list 103 permit tcp a whole Workbench

    access list 103 permit tcp any newspaper host 201.1.1.222 eq ftp

    --> access list 103 permit tcp any what newspaper of host 201.1.1.222 eq ftp - data

    access-list 103 allow udp everything any 0 65365 Beach

    Also, try to remove the access list together and see if that makes a difference...

  • HELP: I was told to uninstall my photoshop cs2 and now I can not reinstall it - also cannot access my adobe account and it is the United States no. CS plus.

    Told me to uninstall my photoshop cs2. My macbook pro went repair and I had to restore from a backup, after which I got this error message when you try to use photoshop: a license for this product has stopped working: restart the computer and try new blah blah blah error code 150:30. I uninstalled stupidily program on the advice of someone in adobe CS in India and now I can't reinstall. Can someone help me please? I am not interested in buying a newer versioin of adobe cs photoshop or cloud or none of this. I'm pretty happy with it, I just want to come on my laptop. I also run on my desktop computer. Also, I couldn't access my original account due to be told that I had to change my password. An e-mail was sent to the e-mail address associated with this account, but I have more access to this email. I am VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH ADOBE AND THEIR SUPPORT MOSHE. We spend hundreds and it's the support that we receive?

    I oringinalyspent about $4-500 on this program and I would like someone to tell me how to get this back up and works without licensing issues and spend thousands more please. Agent original CS, I spoke with after waiting on hold for more than 1/2 hour was immediately rude to me and told me that I was tyring to understand something, when in reality he was not listening to a word I said to my questions. I am more disappointed, I'm DISGUSTED. I really wish I had not uninstalled it because I fear now, as I suspected, that I will never be able to get it back and I will be FORCED to spend more money. This is ridiculous. I wish I never sent my laptop for repair. I took them several days to understand this bulb and some cables have been damaged, and there is no real reason to wipe my computer everything. I wouldn't have to deal with all of this if I didn't have and that the original problem is still there, when I opened the laptop, screen out draft and it takes a minute or two to start the operation, but it is another matter.

    I tried to access the chat 24 hours again, but that doesn't work more or the other.

    Can someone help me please? Thank you!

  • I changed the name of the computer, now I can not connect to Oracle SQL Developer

    Hello my friends!

    Everything worked perfectly until I needed to change the name of the computer and now I can no longer connect in Oracle SQL Developer 3.1.
    I restarted Oracle 11 g by stopping and restarting. The order message said stop and start successfully. This tells me Oracle 11 g Express is running, but I can no longer
    connect to Oracle SQL Developer 3.1.

    How can I fix?

    Thank you all!

    J man,

    I'm not a pro at Oracle XE, but I would say that this is not a problem of SQL * Developer, but the listener of OracleXE.
    Now, I'm in total guessing game mode:
    find the "listener.ora" file in your Oracle installation (from [url http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17781_01/server.112/e18804/network.htm#ADMQS168] this document is c:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server\NETWORK\ADMIN\listener.ora
    I'm sure that it is coded in the old hostname, simply replace it with the new host name.
    Restart your receiver and please try to connect again.
