ESX server - login

[jaz]

I have installed VM on an XP machine. To logon, I  go to Start, All Programs, VMWare, VMWare Web Access, Web Access. For some reason my Idea and pass is not correct. Is there any way to reset my ID/Pass?

Thanks!

Have you tried with the vSphere Client?

The steps didn't help me ...  for loggging I go to Start ... All Programs ... VMWare ...VMWare Web Access ... Web Access ... this brings up the browser with "VMWare Infrastructure Web Access" dialog box that I need to enter the Login Name and Password....

So if anyone knows how to reset the pass for the above process it will be appreciated...

I don't l use the vSphere ... this is a single install of ESX on a test computer...

The vSphere client still exist also on a standalone installation.

Is the client to manage it.

What version of ESX are you using?

Note: If your using ESXI then it wont support web access.,

use this link http://esxservername and enter

download vsphere client

install vsphere client

and login with vsphere client to esx host.

I checked a Readme file within VMware folder, it seems that I am running VMware 2.x .... I used to access the VMware through Web Access ... but now the login name and pass is the issue... thanks for your helping me...
