Macro is a way for programmers to create their own Macro form: if the first element is created by the functionĭefmacro (which you do not need to know at this stage), then Emacsĭo not evaluate any remaining elements, but passes them in asĭata.If all elements get evaluated, and returns true. Remaining elements from left to right until one of the element After Emacs determines the firstĮlement is and special form, then it keeps evaluating the Is anything not NIL, or the empty list ()), then the true case -Īlso a valid Lisp form - gets evaluated otherwise the false case -Īnother special form is and.

To prevent the root password from expiring again, log onto vCenter management website ( :5480), go to Administration menu, and change the password settings here.Prevent the root password from expiring again Verify it works by opening the management website :5480 to your vCenter server and logging on.If you want to use a new root password, enter it twice here.If you want to keep your current root password, just enter it twice here.Connect to your VCSA using SSH – logging on with root and your expired password will work.

Go to troubleshooting options and enable BASH and enable SSH.Note: Even though there is an option here to change your root password, it doesn’t seem to work when root is expired.When prompted, type in your root password (it should work, even if expired).
