messed up big time

I have inherited a VMware environment with no passwords. I went to reset the vcenter appliance password by breaking into grub at boot (took a snapshot first).

That worked fine - set the new password then went to reboot, tried a shutdown -r now command which didn't work (I see now I should have used reboot -f

For some stupid reason I entered exit - so now the screen is frozen, cant do anything. Course I cant do anything from vsphere I am really hosed.

I don't know the password to the host that vcenter is on either, I have installed one new host (4th host) that I set a new password so I can get to that one
