#FORGOT VMWARE ESXI 6.7 PASSWORD PASSWORD#
However i have reset the VMware ESXi root password using by booting from linux DVD. If you try with some other method may lead to the host failure or unsupported configuration due to complex architecture of ESXi as per VMware KB. VMware does not provide utility or methods to recover the original root password of an ESX/ESXi host.
We should not lose the superuser account on any operating system especially on VMware ESXi.There may be a chance of loosing root password due to system administrator careless or defective keyboard. If you forgot root password of ESXi host ,then there is no way to recover it.
