    Ok, so I'm a moron.
    I've set a password on a virtual machine that I have to enter before even being able to unlock it. And now that password is long forgotten, however I have a list of suspected passwords that might work, and I'm gonna run them through CUPP (https://github.com/Mebus/cupp) to create even more options for me.

    Hopefully CUPP will generate the correct password for me but the list of passwords will be looooooong :eek:

    So I'm wondering if I can script the unlocking of virtual machines in parallels somehow through the terminal? If so that would significantly decrease the time it will take me to try out all combinations of passwords.

    Does anyone hava a clue if this is possible or not ? (fingers crossed) even though I suspect that once I forgot a password I'm out of luck...

    Thanks

    Please let us know whether Windows virtual machine user account login or the virtual machine encryption password?
