      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have lost root password for my ESXi Server. I believe you cannot reset password for ESXi without reinstalling. How do I backup my current virtual machines before attempting to reinstall to reset my password?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

You will then need to manually browse the datastore and register all VMs again.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Lars&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
