A little more update on this HP Proliant system. I have by passed the credentials issue. It turns out that ESXi 6.0 had originally been installed on this system, I used the old credentials and I was able to login. so as it turns out, I was not actually even installing anything. When I try to force the system to look at my USB, it shows a red screen with some memory or ROM errors with numbers. At this point, what I would like to do is to burn the ISO image for 5.5 ESXi to a blank CD and try to see if I can install the correct version of ESXi that I would need to this host and hope that the system can read the ISO image from the CD.
