As on every "linux" like system you switch consoles with ALT+F1/F2 and so on.  Does it not work?  Unlike ESXi i cant remember that there is a way to lock it. Its enabled by default. Otherwise poke around in VAMI  http://vcenter:5480 and see if there are a options around.

The first screenshot looks like you've opened a file using the vi editor.

To exit it, press "ESC" to then ":" (colon), which will bring you to the command/bottom line. From there you may either enter "q!" (quit without saving changes), or "wq!" (save changes and quit).
