I know. No one looses his passwords. Everybody keeps them save in their head or something. But what if you can’t remember the password of the HyperFlex Cluster, but you do know the password of the ESXi controller.
Howto recover your HyperFlex Password ?
If you want to login into the HX cluster via the CLI, you still can’t get in :
And now if you can access the ESXi host, just use the command :
ssh root@<IP HX Storage Controller> -i /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
You will have acces to the RSA key.
And now are able to change the password of the HX cluster with :
stcli security password set

Is there a way to do the reverse too? If you know the hyperflex password but forgot the esxi root password, can that somehow be recovered?

I don’t know the answer. Maybe if you have a look on the VMware site.
