Re: root access to ESXi4.1 server does not have permission

Hi

Is password correct?

Did you login directly in the ESXi console(with iLO for example) and root and password are working properly?

If the problem is the root password, then you need to reset it.

Even that is not supported by VMware is possible to do it
