B-) ESXi Passwords and Account Lockout
For ESXi hosts, you have to use a password with predefined requirements. You can change the required length and character class requirement or allow pass phrases using the Security.PasswordQualityControl advanced option.ESXi uses the Linux PAM module pam_passwdqc for password management and control.
See the manpages for pam_passwdqc for detailed information.
ESXi Passwords: ESXi enforces password requirements for direct access from the Direct Console User Interface, the ESXi Shell, SSH, or the vSphere Client.
When you create a password, include a mix of characters from four character classes: lowercase letters, uppercase letters, numbers, and special characters such as underscore or dash.(link : https://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-60/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.vsphere.security.doc%2FGUIDDC96FFDB-F5F2-43EC-8C73-05ACDAE6BE43.html)
