Can't change root password on ESXi 6.7

The only KB I could find about this refers to the password not being complex enough.  The password meets all the criteria.  The passwd command doesn't even let me enter the password, it throws this error.  I also tried from the web client, same issue.  Any idea how to fix this?

[root@xxxx-esxi00:~] passwd
Changing password for root
passwd: Authentication token manipulation error
passwd:
[root@xxxx-esxi00:~]
