Setting default host and virtual machine credentials
You must set default user name and password credentials that the Flash Accel Management Console will use to log in to each host and virtual machine in the vCenter.
About this task 
When discovering the hosts and virtual machines in the vCenter, the FMC needs to log in to each device so that it can install Flash Accel software. If your network uses the same credentials for all hosts, and the same credentials for all VMs, then the information you enter here will make the initial discovery of hosts and VMs go very quickly. If you do not use the same credentials, you will need to enter the user name and password manually for each device on which you want to install Flash Accel software.
Steps 
1.
The Host Settings tab opens.
2.
In the User Name and Password fields, enter the default login credentials that will be used when attempting to log in to each host. An account with administrator privileges is required for the host.
3.
Click Save configuration.
4.
Select the VM Settings tab.
5.
In the User Name and Password fields, enter the default login credentials that will be used when attempting to log in to each virtual machine. A local, or domain, account with administrator privileges is required for the VM.
6.
Click Save configuration.
Result 
The default login credentials are saved for the hosts and VMs in this vCenter.
