Post deploying NSX-T Autonomous Edge client, specified password (during wizard) does not work and below error is seen on console.

This document talks about resetting the password without redeploying the appliance.

Login with root and enter default password vmware ; you will be prompted to enter the current password followed by new password. In my example password was VMware@12345

Post entering the password, it will auto-login.

Let's change the admin password and then reboot the appliance. To reset password for admin account we need to run below command and enter new password.

Now reboot the appliance. The password notification should not come up and you will be able to login with new credentials.
