Hi!
Yesterday I tried to export 2 VMs via the webinterface from an esxi 6.5.0 Update 3 (Build 17477841) free edition - each arround 200GB. Because this procedure failed I tried the ovftool. Here I got the Error: Cannot parse locator... first so I decided to simplyfy the root password via the web interface to Insecure1! and indeed the ovftool started immediately with te copy process and finished successfully after a while.
Obvisiously the next step was to set the root password back to a stronger one. But suddenly I couldn't login in to the web interface because of an invalid password. So I checked the ovftool command which had the password in the connection string an tried to repeat the command - failed too.
Now I'm stucked.
