Unable to login into ESXi host web UI or SSH

If you are unable to login to ESXi Web UI and even SSH while the same password is working on ESXi DCUI console ( https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2148363 ) then it is possible that ESXi is locked. Through DCUI console disable ESXi lockdown mode and after that the Web UI and SSH login should work.
