Hi,
Follow the step to reset to reset administrator pwd, hope this will help.
Pretty easy eh?
You can get to the same utility on the VCSA by logging in with root at the console and launching the following command:
/usr/lib/vmware-vmdir/bin/vdcadmintool
Follow the same process listed above to generate a new password.
I'm having the same issue; and I paid attention to OP's posts. This is Vcenter 6.0 where it aks for UPN, not DN.
hi , i had the same problem.
I'm running vCenter on Windows 2008, this suggestion worked for me.
The UNIX interface asks for an "account UPN", here's the default:
account UPN : Administrator@vSphere.local

Had the same issue with vCenter 6.0 running on Windows machine, running vdcadmintool on behalf of built-in user account, as it is suggested in https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2144902, solved the issue.
Thank you bkmemeo,that worked for me 😄
