Hi Hassan, any other suggestion if i can't log into the console? It accepts credentials but doesn't move away from enter the credentials prompt. When i enter bad credentials it'll say incorrect, but nothing when it's correct.

I can't log into the console. It will accept the credentials but doesn't do anything.

I found a thread that seems to have the exact same problem i here from 5 years ago

Hi Hassan,

I enabled SSH and BASH from VAMI, it still says access is denied.
I reset the vcenter password and can log into VAMI, but not when i SSH through putty.

When i try to console into the vcenter appliance from the host, it accepts my password but still doesn't do anything. if i intentionally enter an incorrect password it will say login incorrect whereas the correct password just takes me back to the login screen.

Hi!

I reset the vcenter appliance password, and am able to log into VAMI.
When I try to log into vCenter appliance through the console using the new credentials, it accepts, but immediately returns to the "vCenter Login:"

I tried to SSH in, but it states access is denied to everything. Turned on BASH through VAMI and am still unable to connect.

Hi! How did you get in to modify the files if you could not sign in?
