[Invalid] No way to decrypt a previously encrypted VM

Post by birdie »

Currently VBox allows to change a VM encryption password, but there's no way to decrypt a previously encrypted VM.

Did you try to untick the encryption checkbox in the GUI and saving the settings? It should ask you for the current password and decrypt the images (which might take a while)
