There might a situation when you can’t login into a vCenter system anymore because you either don’t know the root password anymore or the system is not able to log you in.The can happen if the root mountpoint of the VCSA 6.5 appliance filled up or forgotten the root password .
New VCSA (vCenter Server Appliance) 6.5 is build on top of Photon OS and this will not allow you to change the password by using the same standard procedure you know from Debian, Ubuntu or RedHat.
Check the root partition usage, using the df -h command. Very often the log files grew large and filled up your partition.
check the usage of audit.log in /var/log/audit by follwoing commad
ls -sh /var/log/audit
To remove the file follow this
rm /var/log/audit/*.log to clean it up.
Please follow these steps:
passwd
Enter a strong password twice and make sure you will remember same for future
umount /
reboot -f
