Enter maintenence mode on ESXi VM

L2 Linker

Panorama ESXi VM, from the CLI I used "request system private-data-reset" and now I'm unable to login using the original local admin or the default admin.  When I reboot the VM I do not see "enter maint..." command nor can I SSH or get in to "debug system maintenance-mode".  How can I factory reset the VM using MRT or any other method?

update: I answered my own question, the method is:
1.  Reset/reboot VM
2. "press any key to stop autoboot"
3. enter "maint" for maintenence mode
4. select maint partition
