Then I looked back and kept (uncommented) the following options in the vmx file: (There is no snapshot of the virtual machine)Īfter doing the above things, I started the virtual machine, but I was prompted with the following error window: The disk 'F:\Virtual Machines\Windows 11 Temp\Windows 11 Temp.vmdk' is encrypted and a required key was not found.Ĭannot decrypt disk because key or password is incorrectĬannot open the disk 'F:\Virtual Machines\Windows 11 Temp\Windows 11 Temp.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on. And then I deleted all files in the virtual machine folder except. long string"Īccording to your suggestions, I commented them all out. Thank you for your reply very much and I will clean other posts which focus on solving the same problem to help others following the discussion.Īfter setting toAddVTPM = "software" in the vmx file, the following options are automatically added:Įncryption.encryptedKey = ". How can I find this password? (I didn't set it manually at all) Setting toAddVTPM = "software" in a vmx file will allow us to access the virtual machine (which needs TPM and encryption, like Windows 11) without an encryption password.īut when I want to decrypt the virtual machine, VMware Workstation 16.2 will ask me to enter the encryption password. Title: How to get an access control password in a decrypted vmx file? And below is another post that wants to solve the same problem but has been cleaned. Sorry for post the same question more than one time. When I try to remove the experimental TPM device ( toAddVTPM = "software"), the Vmware Workstation 16.2 access control still asks me to enter a password to remove the encryption. So, I decided to remove the setting after enabling it. Obviously, there is no key here I can find.
In VMware Workstation Pro 16.2, after setting toAddVTPM = "software" in a vmx file for a Windows 11 virtual machine, we can access it without an access control password.īut When I move the virtual machine to another computer and try to open it, the VMware Workstation Pro 16.2 asks me to enter a password to unlock it.
