• How to reset the root password

  I forgot the root password of my iMac that I dedicated to my children, for a long time, now, I came to use it and found it very slow and unresponsive, and I need to log in using the terminal and write unix commands to find out the real problem, but could not remember the password to root probably I created seven years ago.

  as I remember that I needed to have the CD and reboot the system with the recovery disk, but I couldn't get there, shut up always back to the default disk.

  Any help is appreciated?

  Thank you

• 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!

  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.

• Special characters used for the root password

  Don't vSphere 4.0 support characters other than the numbers/letters for the root password, such as # or $?

  This should not be a problem.  In addition, see below

  .. and is this question which relates to PowerCLI, otherwise I can move the thread

• To connect by SSH slow to deal with the root password

  Strange question here, more than inconvenience cause really questions. I just did an install ESX 4 on a G5 BL680 vanilla. I enabled root ssh and sshd restared so I could connect and configure with PuTTY. In the putty session, after that I entered the root password, it takes about 50 seconds to complete the opening of session - every time... The same server by connecting with the ILO, it is as usual. There isn't any other slow once connected, just that. Other ESX hosts on the same subnet (ESX 3.5) do not have the same problem. I tried to restart sshd, restart the server. It has all the latest patches for ESX 4.0. Someone has an idea of what he does all this while?

  Thank you

  Check if you have DNS configured correctly or at all.

• Hide the fields password and the Password Confirmation

  In IOM (9.1.0.2. BP12) I need to hide the password and Confirmation of the password that I managed to do by editing the tjspGenerateCreateUserForm.jsp the fields. Now my problem is that I can't create the user because these fields are mandatory. I added these lines below the JSP, but IOM still complains about the missing fields.
  
  
  < div style = "display: none" >
  < input type = "text" name = "value(Users~Password)" value = "12345." readonly = "true" styleClass = "Fields" > "
  < / div >
  < div style = "display: none" >
  < input type = "text" name = "value(Users~ConfirmPassword)" value = "12345." readonly = "true" styleClass = "Fields" > "
  < / div >
  
  I have commented out or change this part in the FormMetaData.xml file, but that will affect all users, and this requirement is only for some users.
  
  Any ideas?
  
  Thank you

  You can do one of the following:

  -Write an adapter before insertion that always generates the password, so you don't have to provide anything of the JSP. It works for all users.

  -Do not hide the field password make it readonly and also provides a value with it. This could be done in the same JSP as follows:

  *
  MaxLength = "100" styleClass = "Fields" tabindex = "1" / >

  Is it possible to hide the folder root in ADG?

  Thank you

  The IHierarchicalCollectionView has showRoot property. This is the interface used internally in the AdvancedDataGrid to manage data and is also returned by the dataProvider of the AdvancedDataGrid. In order to hide the root you need to do this:

  (myAdvancedDataGrid.dataProvider as IHierarchicalCollectionView) .showRoot = false;

• ESXi Installtion stuck on the root password screen

  Hello world

  I inherited a very small VM set up of 3 armies under vCenter and vSphere 5.5. I'm also very new to all of this. learner I want so please excuse any newbie questions!

  I'm reinstalling EXSi on a host with two hard drives 3 fresh to a hard drive failure. It's all right until the Setup program allows you to 'Root' password screen where it used to let me enter a password at all.

  If I type nothing happens and if I press on enter, nothing happens, aI can do is to press F9 to go back. ... Am I missing something or is there a reason that's not let me enter a password?

  I can find something on this subject anywhere online.

  Thank you very much

• Hide the username / password when connecting to the database

  I need to find a way to hide the user name / password when connecting to the database (via a script), or by encryption or any other method that hides this information when I connect to the database.

  I use Oracle 11 g.

  I tried with the portfolio method, but could not connect to the database of the error below, even the user name and password:

  ERROR:

  ORA-01017: invalid username / password; connection refused

  I plugged this way (after the cover configuration):

  sqlplus /@DB

  Please help me.

  Concerning

  Luiza

  Hi Luiza,

  Try to find out why the portfolio method does not work, check the implementation using ref 340559.1 Note

  Check also for example client and server versions / compatibility, evolves sec_case_sensitive_logon relevant parameter (as a test, because it must be true) etc.

• 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.
  I would like the script to give me a chance to type the password to myself.
  Something like when you started a new cmd session in a .bat script using the cmd /c
  Thank you

  Take a look at this script and see if the way they work for you: http://communities.vmware.com/thread/412623

• Change the root password

  Hello!

  I would like to change the password to root for our ESX 4.0 servers. Problems or advice?

  Unless you actually use the root connection in some application or script, and the saved password here - no problems.

• 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

• 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

• Change of the Esx server root password.

  Hello friends,

  I have a small queries if you change the root on Esx server password there will be an impact on virtual infrastructure if it so please explain what effect might be on OS comments and please let me know how to change the password if it is not an impact. the Esx version is 3.5...

  Thank you

  Unless you use any application that connects to the host by using the credentials of the root, there should be no problem with changing the root password. Virtual Center uses its own (vpxuser) user to access the host.
