Greetings,
I've just installed the ESXi 3.5 iso to a USB drive to install on to a machine I've got sitting by. Everything goes well till I get to a screen advising me of a fatal error.
Looking down, all of the model information displays "To be filled by O.E.M" and because of this I am unable to progress any further through the installation.
I've looked a a couple of guides advising of how to change this information and to start that, I need to log in to the console by hitting alt+f1. I've got to that stage and have entered the login, but the system is now asking me for a password that I don't have. Every guide I see suggests I use the root password that I created, but I haven't got to a stage where I've been prompted to create one.
Is there a default password that can be used at this stage to login and change the information or am I stuck?
Thanks for any help.
