Can't add ESXi 7.0.1 to vCenter

[yoones2]

Hi all

I'm having trouble adding ESXi 7.0.1 to vCenter 7.0.1/7.0.2/7.0.3 and I don't know what happens when I try to add hosts.

Error:
Cannot complete login due to an incorrect user name or password.

I'm sure that the user name and password are correct and with this information I can enter the ESXi UI panel and SSH.
It seems that this is a bug in version 7.0.1

Do you have an idea?

After switching from U.S. default to U.S. international problem should be fixed

It is recommended to be on 7.0 U3 or later versions for both ESXi and VC.
Was this ESXi ever added/part of this VC inventory anytime in the past ?
Are you able to login to ESXi UI with same root username and password ?
If yes ; check ESXi vmkernel logs for "Admission failure in path: host/vim/vmvisor/esxtokend:esxtokend" errors. If its there then please run below command on ESXi and then add it to VC and check.
/etc/init.d/esxTokenCPS restart
