All these questions are easy to find on the Internet with a search engine...

If you don't know any or don't know how to use them, here are some examples and instructions:

And yes, you need at least the root password of the Appliance Backend for the upgrade to U2.

If you don't know how to reset the root password or admin@vsphere.local account:
