Not sure what the VWadmin password is you are referring to.

The following article describes recovering the Admin if the root is still available:

If both Admin and Root are not available you can recover via console using the steps in the Troubleshooting guide:

** Do not confuse the Bootprom password with Admin/Root. The process starts on page 31:

Or if you mean updating the VCenter password, that process is in the Management Guide (page 171):
