As the tile says, how do I create a local admin user with root user on VCS-Express. I have lost the password, and can`t login as a admin user, however I`m able to log in as a root user.

After you login with the root account, type in "tsh", from there you can create local admin accounts with "xCommand AdminAccountAdd".  See the Command Reference section of the VCS Admin Guide, starting on pg 517.

If your VCS is a VM, you can change the admin password using vSphere, or if it's a hardware appliance you can use the serial port, see pg 312 of the admin guide.
