I've inherited a VMware ESX Server 3i 3.5.0 but haven't found any documentation, especially not the root password, nor have I gotten hold of the former admin.
The suggestions I've found online presuppose that I first get a GRUB boot menu, which I don't.
So, lacking a GRUB menu, how do I recover or reset the root password, short of a reinstall?
If it is of any significance, the server is a Dell PowerEdge 2850.
