Today I had to reset the root password on a VMware Data Protection (VDP) 5.5 server.
I followed the procedure in the below article - many thanks to Vladan Seget for writing it!
It's a very simple 5 minute job once the VDP server is shut down (this method DOES need shutting down - if you don't have OS rights you can do an OS shutdown via the vCenter\vCD tools).
If writing a CRQ for this, bear in mind that the server will take a while to boot up and start its services as usual, and don't forget to test!
