Please do not put any RDP or your ESXi servers on the internet either. If you need to connect to any of your systems, use a VPN.</p> <p>While there are ways to reset the root password when it鈥檚 unknown, this wont recover your files, besides you鈥檝e not said the version of ESXi.</p> <p>If you are using 6.5 or 6.7, these are both out of support and likely vulnerable to a lot more than this.</p> <p>Short version is you need to restore from your backups.
