Client is not authenticated to VMware Inventory Service

After deploying my new vsphere lab I faced issue while AD user connecting to vmware web client.

Client is not authenticated to VMware Inventory Service – https://vCenterServer:10443

I checked all the stuffs telnet port ID, couple of times removing my ID from vCenter permissions group, followed this VMware KB. Everything was good. But I was unable to get rid of this error. With default Administrator@vsphere.local everything was fine.

  

In the last I simply rebooted server and my issue got resolved and able to see my sweet inventory.

Reset administrator@vsphere.local account password on vCenter appliance

Resetting administrator@vsphere.local is fair easy process, I forgot my password and stopped on this Vmware KB. Putty to vCenter appliance (I am using 5.5) run below tool.

/usr/lib/vmware-vmdir/bin/vdcadmintool

Type 3 to reset and type the distinguished name of Administrator account, In your case it will be cn=Administrator,cn=users,dc=vSphere,dc=local once you press enter key, voila! It generates a new password and shows you on the screen.

Select Users and Groups, right click Administrator or there is an edit user button on the top and change the password which you can remember easily. 

Now log off from vmware web client and try with new password.
