I have installed VCenter 5.5 using simple install. Following the successful install of vcenter but before making any changes, I used the SSL Certificate updater tool to create new certs based on my windows CA. Everything went great until I got to the step of updating the vCenter SSL . It asks for the vCenter Server original database password. Since the simple install installs SQL express and does not ask for a user or password, I am lost as to which password this would be. I am logged into the vcenter server as a domain admin - would it be this password? I know the SSO administrator and its password which is the same as the vCenter administrator and password. Would it be this accounts password?
I would just try it and see, except that the SSL cert updater tool does not check the validity of the password and if I select incorrectly i will need to undo the mess it causes. Does anyone know when doing a simple install with all roles on one windows server and using the SQL express installation, what password is used for the database?
I look forward to your advice.
