How to solve the problem with the expiration of the root password to VMware vCenter (VCSA 6.7 console) - tip

Hello,

In the event that you can not log in to the VMware Appliance console, the following message will appear Exception in invoking authentication handler User password expired.

The solution to the problem is to enter the passwd command in the console and the new password in the New Password field. Then, we repeat the password in the Retype new password field. We have a changed password. Now we can correctly log in to the VMware VCSA 6.7 console.

poor explanation 

What is there is no console?

If I try to use PuTTY it fails to connect. Is there a console for vCenter or SSH is not enabled?
