as per vmware guidlines, vpxuser's password is automatically changed by system after expiry. won't this be a security risk . also can administrator get that system generated password.

Yes it is never recommended to play with this account unless it is justified. Below is one of the link to reset the password on the Host, the steps are fairly simple.

No I don't think you can get that system generated password. But you can always reset it to your choice.
