Invalid user account ??? How can the root account be invalid ?
The article says: "The steps in this article require root access to the host, either at the physical console or using SSH."

Yes, I verified that SSH is on.
I can logon directly to the server using root.
I get to the prompt and not sure what I need to do next. I always have user VSphere 6.7. Right now I have 5.5 and am trying to get 6.7 installed.

The KB article that I've posted contains the steps for different ESX/ESXi versions.
The commands under "ESXi 4.x, 5.x and 6.0" are the ones which will work for your version.
