Before risking your server with a crack, consider these legitimate methods:
If your data is valuable, stick to the official trial version to see if recovery is possible, and then decide if the license is worth the peace of mind.

DiskInternals VMFS Recovery is a specialized utility designed to recover data from corrupted or inaccessible VMware VMFS partitions. It can reconstruct virtual disks (VMDK) from disks formatted with VMFS, even if the ESXi server is down or the partition table is damaged. Because it handles low-level file system reconstruction, it is a highly technical and premium-priced tool. The Risks of Using a "Crack" or "Full Version" Download
