How to Reset Forgotten Root Password on VMware ESXi 5 and ESXi 4? • First of all, you need to boot your ESXi server with a Linux live CD.

You might need to mount it manually with the command mount /mnt/Hypervisor3 • Unpack the “state.tgz” file somewhere.

You only need to change the name at the beginning of the line (before the first colon) to “root”. You’ve then set the root password to a password you know. Alternatively, you can just remove the hash altogether (everything between the first and the second colon) and login to the service console as root with no password at all. • Re-pack the files and move the modified state.tgz back to the VFAT partition.
