To reset the root password of your ESXi 6.7 host, you need to reboot the host and enter the ESXi Recovery Mode. To do this, press Shift+R during the boot-up process. Once you are in the recovery mode, you can reset the root password from the ESXi command line. To reset the password, type in the following command:
# passwd –unlock root
You will be prompted to enter and confirm a new password. Once you have done that, your root password will be reset.
