Resetting the Root User Password

VCSA has its own password policy, where the password for the root user expires after 90 days by default. If this time period has passed, the password must be reset to log in to VCSA.

Follow these simple steps to reset the expired root user password for VCSA:

  1. Make sure you have a command-line tool like PuTTY to access the vCenter Server Appliance.
  2. Login to VCSA using PuTTY. When prompted, provide your current password, followed by the new password.
  3. Once you’ve set the new password, try logging in again.
