The user can only login via SSH if no password was set and can't login over the VGA console in the web UI. To login the user needs to press reboot and then append flatcar.autologin to the kernel command line parameters in GRUB each time. The user may also not know that this option even exists. Set flatcar.autologin by default in the kernel command line parameters for VMware so that users don't need to set this themselves.
