Ok Neeraj. But in doing so wouldn't I lose all the files and tables I created (For instance on Hive, hdfs etc.)?

@keerthana gajarajakumar There is highly probability that there is something wrong happened during import process so reimport instead of spending time on troubleshooting.

In case you want to save the vm ...give root password and run fsck

redownload the VM using Firefox, re-import it and try again. It's not worth investigating these issues.
