Hello all,
I got an issue with ESXi 5.5.0, I get this old server from a school who switch from old support to us, old support don't gave root password and any other password to the school before leave it.
I have search on the net and I have find a way to try to start ESXi w/out root password (delete password into shadow file) but it didn't work, so I have try to "upgrade" ESXi using the same iso of 5.5.0 but after updating it ask for root password, so I have try a fresh install of ESXi on another server and try to change file shadow, after that the old ESXi stop working, so I have reinstall it overwriting the old installation, ESXi start, it see the old datastore but I have no VM configured, in datastore i have all the old VM.
How can I restore all the old VM on the fresh installation of ESXi 5.5.0?
Thanks,
Alessandro
