To get/reset the Virtual Machine Administrator/Root Password follow these simple steps:

1. Go to your vCloud Director Portal.

2. Right click the required VM and select Details.

 

3. Then go to Guest OS Customization. The dafault password will be displayed upon opening 'Edit'.

 

Note: You must tick 'Enable guest customization' to allow changes to the other settings.

Note: IMPORTANT! If you are resetting the password for a live machine, please ensure Change SID is disabled. Failure to do so will likely result in the machine being syspreped
