Although this is documented on page 59 of the excellent Evaluators Guide I figured it wouldn’t hurt to write a tiny blog post. I found myself googling for it multiple times already with no succes, so there must be more people facing that “problem”. Below you can find the passwords of the vCloud Director Appliance and the embedded database, just in case you need it:
- VMware vCloud Director Appliance:
username = root
password = Default0 - VMware vCloud Director Appliance/Oracle Database 11g R2 XE instance:
username = vcloud
password = VCloud
While we are at it, these are the passwords for other appliances:
- VMware vCenter Server Appliance:
username = root
password = vmware - VMware vShield Manager Appliance:
username = admin
password = default - vSphere Management Assistant (vMA):
username = vi-admin
password = <defined during configuration> - vSphere Data Recovery Appliance:
username = root
password = vmw@re - VMware vCenter Operations Manager
username = admin
password = admin
Yeah, I definitely had that problem with the vCloud Director appliance!
How about the vDR Appliance:
username = root
password = vmw@re
Is the root password the same for the vMA also?
I wonder why they don’t use one password for all of them? I mean everyone changes them at once so why use different ones for every Appliance?
Is a vCD appliance for productive use planned?
Valid question @niels, I will address this internally.
@ben: cannot comment on that.
@Daragh –> vSphere Management Assistant = vMA
So simple, yet so helpful. I’ve not had too much trouble quickly finding the root password for various VMware appliances but hopefully this page ranks high on Google searches as well.
@ben, I am not a VMware employee so I can comment on your question: I don’t know.
Yep, but I forget what the “root” password is!
vi-admin is created on initialization.
Ta.
