Returning the ESXi root password & permissions

Sometimes we have circumstances that cannot manage the ESXi host directly via local accounts, like forgetting root credentials. So there once again another perfect benefit of using vSphere Host Profile feature in a situation like when we lose the ESXi root. Now consider we don't have access to the host for any reason like that I describe or even unintentionally changing the root permission to read-only access privilege. So what should we do?!

 Inside the vSphere environment (Web Client) go to the Policies and Profiles section and create a new host profile or generate it from an specific ESXi host. If you edit this profile object, inside the Security Configuration section you can create new fields about the Administrator password and its permission rule like the following screenshots:

 

I hope it gonna be helpful for you guys, especially when you didn't login to the ESXi host directly for long time duration and forgetting root password can make us very nervous ...
