  3. Mouse over the VM and from the options menu, select Edit.

  4. In the Edit VM dialog, go to General, and make changes as required to:

    1. Name, which is the VM friendly name

    2. CPU and RAM (if your VM is not using hardware profiles)

    3. Remote access in private cloud via VNC

    4. If you disable remote access, hypervisor configuration will remain but you cannot access it through the console icon

    5. If you change the password, the change will be applied when you save the VM. Remember that it can be a maximum of 8 alphanumeric characters, i.e.. a to z, A to Z, 0 to 9. If you delete the password, the screen requesting the password will not appear. On ESXi hypervisors, if you set a password and later delete it, the password will be blank, not null. The screen requesting the password will appear, and you should press <Enter> to continue.
