Hi everyone, new to VMware.  I have created a new VM, running esxi 6.5 and attached WIndows Server 2016 ISO to the datastore and checked to connect at power on.  When vm boots it shows the Windows logo and then goes to command prompt asking for Administrator password, which I did not set, nothing works.  I want to reinstall the OS, but it bypasses the ISO going back to the command prompt again.  I have not installed tools as I read they should be installed after the OS is in place.
