    <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;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).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;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&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;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.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;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&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;If the new host is able to access the datastore on which the vCenter is residing.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Browse the datastore and you should get the option to register the VM on the new host.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Once registered and Powered on &amp;gt;&amp;gt; You would get a message on the VM asking if you moved it, select Yes.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;The vmdk had a lock so we couldn't do much with it. Nimble support was able to create a clone vcenter from a snapshot and get that running on the new host so we are back running again&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
