VMware Knowledge Base

Helper virtual machine

When converting a powered on Linux operating system (P2V), this is the target virtual machine that is being used temporarily for the purpose of copying files from the source computer. It uses the TCP/IP information that is entered in the Converter wizard for the target virtual machine. Ensure that this IP address can communicate directly with the source computer.

But, the  password request appears again, i dont know the password

You need to ensure the helper VM is able to connect to the source machine (routing, firewalls, DNS...). If that can be done, there is no need to log in the helper. E.g. one common problem is to access the source from the converter client by name, but the helper is unable to resolve that name. The workaround in this case is to access it by IP address.

If however, you need to troubleshoot the connectivity, see this KB article for how to enable logging in the helper: VMware Knowledge Base Once enabled, use the source machine's password to log in.
