VC 5.5 Upgrade to VCSA 6.5 - Invalid Appliance (OS) Root Password

Hi

I am trying to upgrade my Windows 2012 based Virtual Center 5.5 server to VCSA 6.5.

I have run the migration-assistant on the VC and am attempting to run the Appliance installer GUI on a separate machine.

Stage 3 is where I am having issues. I have specified the FQDN of the Windows VC which connects. The next screen then asks me for the SSO username and password and also the Appliance (OS) root password.

Maybe I am just doing it wrong but where is there a root password for a windows VC? Whatever I put in comes up with Invalid Appliance (OS) root password.

Help!! 🙂

Don't know what happened here but I started the installer again and the options have come up differently and appears to be working now.

Strange.
