svtcli on OVC and root on ESXi password lost

[IDmitry]

Hello all!

We want migrate for VC to VCSA.
We try login to OVC with password from ESXi host - failure (access denided)
Probobly, we lost root password ESXi, we canot login to ESXi too. (Lockdown mode disabled)

what should we do to change svtcli password on OVC and ESXi hosts?

OVC 3.7.6

Hello, the best practice is to logon on OVC with the administrator@vsphere.local and if not working  you can use the svtcli.

The svtcli password is not mandatory the same as the ESXi root password, they can be different.

Yes, I am understand about I must login at OVC with Administrator@vsphere.local account, but It's not work :(
How I fix it?
