Once youвЂ™re in, search for the word tally in the pam setup with grep tally /etc/pam.d/*. You do have about half a second to hit вЂeвЂ™, so pay attention or youвЂ™ll find yourself rebooting a few times! For those who are not locked out already, you can just ssh into the VCSA and make this change without a reboot Unlike in 6.0, you hit вЂeвЂ™ instead of вЂspaceвЂ™ at the GRUB prompt, but otherwise itвЂ™s the same. KB2147144 documents the process for booting into a privileged shell without a password. However, I wanted to explore something I had done with vRealize Orchestrator recently: disable the account lockout. I waited 5 minutes but still couldnвЂ™t get in, so it looked like it was time to do a password reset.

I had only tried four times! Regardless of whether it was me or someone else, now that I knew I had the right password, I was locked out. The VAMI just says вЂњinvalid passwordвЂќ, but logging in on the console displayed a message indicating I had failed authentication 12 times.

I recently locked myself out of my vCenter Server Appliance when I was attempting to perform an upgrade through VAMI.
