I installed ESXi 5.0 on new MAC Mini/superdrive, and I am getting a prompt "Auithorization Required" "enter an authorized login and password for local host...." I enter the MAC admin account name and password, but is prompting me as invalid?
Thank you,

Hi,
Did you try root for id and mypassword for the password?
regards
I tried "root" and "mypassword" and I am still unable to log in?
Thank you,
Bernardo
Per documentation, leave password blank initially and configure afterwards.
Thank you,

Blank password not working
Hi @bcrespo123
I think this is not the answer you are looking for, but you should go with a reinstallation of ESX. Root passwort recovery is no longer supported starting with ESXi. https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1317898
