Cannot login with my account in Vmare esxi

Hi,

I have a problem with esxi. I cannot login with my account in vmare esxi. Because password not working.

Atually i have acess to Vshpere and works fine.

Its possible to create a new user in Vmware Esxi through Vshpere ? 

Or replace the password for Vmware esxi through Vshpere ?

As long as the ESXi host is managed by vCenter Server, you have some options to reset a host's root password.
You can either do this using Host Profiles (depending on the license you have), or - what I prefer - using a PowerCLI script like this:

#Connect to vCenter
Connect-VIServer <vcenter-name>

#Connect to esxcli
$esxcli = Get-EsxCli -VMhost <esxi-host-name> -V2


#Define new password for root
$arg = $esxcli.system.account.set.CreateArgs()
$arg.id = 'root'
$arg.password = 'NewPassword'
$arg.passwordconfirmation = $arg.password

#Set new password
$esxcli.system.account.set.Invoke($arg)
