Problem with Management Agants

[HBalaghi]

Hi

When I want to login Remotely in ESXi, I get this message : Cannot complete login due to an incorrect user name or password

and i have to restart Management Agents, after few minutes this problem will repeat ...

can anyone help me ?

And why are you certain it's because you are ​not​ entering a wrong password?

[HBalaghi]

No, password is correct, but i cant login remotely until restart management agents

Try console through iLO or iDRAC because maybe your root account is looked and than remote login is not possible.

Regards,

i am always have to restart management agents for remote connection

Sounds like you better open a support case.

This is absolutely not my area of expertise, so I'm just throwing out a wild guess here:

Is there any chance this is being caused is something else on your network which is repeatedly trying to authenticate to the host using an old/incorrect password and triggering a temporary account lockout, and restarting the management agent just clears out that lockout?
