After ESXi 6.5 setup is complete, password complexity requirements are enforced for users, esp. root. To change root password to a simple non-complex password by disabling password complexity requirements temporarily use following steps:

  1. SSH to host
  2. vi /etc/pam.d/passwd
  3. Comment first (requisite) and second (sufficient) lines
  4. Copy sufficient line nad remove auth_ok. Leave this edited line uncommented
  5. Save and exit vim
  6. Change password using passwd command to desired simple (non-complex) password
  7. Again vi /etc/pam.d/passwd and make it same as before
