The option mentioned above is what works now and you can enable SSH as well (unsupported though) <a class="jive-link-external" href="http://www.vm-help.com/esx/esx3i/ESXi_enable_SSH.php">http://www.vm-help.com/esx/esx3i/ESXi_enable_SSH.php</a> Tue, 02 Sep 2008 02:25:36 GMT Dave.Mishchenko http://communities.vmware.com/message/1039574?tstart=0#1039574 2008-09-02T02:25:36Z 1 year, 2 months ago http://communities.vmware.com/message/1039519?tstart=0#1039519 If it was there before, then, yes, they have removed that feature. Instead, press Alt+F1, then type "unsupported" and you'll get the password prompt. Type the password, or leave it blank if you haven't set one, hit enter, and you'll be at the shell.
