I installed ESXi 6.7. IT boots. I get an IP, I can connect to it. If I use the console to the machine I enter root and the 'password'. Everything works.
I go to web the SAME IP displayed on the console or one that I set, I enter root and 'password' and it DOES NOT LET ME LOGIN. WHY?Y?Y?Y?Y?Y?Y?Y?
Just to make sure it's not me, I tried adding the machine to vCenter, same problem. I type root and the 'password' (that I assigned) and it's NOT working. Keeps saying my login info is incorrect but it's NOT incorrect. Also password requirements have changed I now have to include a number or special character that wasn't a requirement before. Why does VMware need to keep reinventing the wheel?!?!?!?
I have restarted and reinstalled twice. I swear I am using the SAME login in both places, did they change root to something else? I tried Administrator, Admin, root, etc.. it's NOT working.
What gives?
