This document talks about resetting the password without redeploying the appliance.

Login with root and enter default password vmware ; you will be prompted to enter the current password followed by new password. In my example password was VMware@12345

Post entering the password, it will auto-login.

Let's change the admin password and then reboot the appliance. To reset password for admin account we need to run below command and enter new password.

Now reboot the appliance. The password notification should not come up and you will be able to login with new credentials.

I have the same problem, and when I try to sign in via Web it says the account has been blocked. Is there any update on this issue?

It looks like there might be an issue with the initial password after deploying the NSX-T Autonomous Edge client. Try to reset the password without redeploying the appliance.

  1. Initial Login with Root:

    • Try logging in with the root user using the default password 'vmware'. It should prompt you to enter the current password followed by the new password.
  2. Changing Admin Password:

    • After logging in, change the admin password by running a command to reset the password and entering the new password as needed.
  3. Rebooting the Appliance:

    • Once the password has been changed, reboot the appliance. After the reboot, you should be able to log in using the new credentials without any password notifications.

Check also system logs or audit trails - you might find the reason behind the account being blocked.
