My VB Windows generated password by itself

Post by DORF »

I never had a password on my Visual Basic before. Suddenly, it generated one without my consent. I never even chose a password and now I cannot log in.


There is something I can do from the panel?

Virtualbox doesn't generate passwords for apps inside a VM. It can generate a password for the VM itself, if unattended install is used and the defaults (user "vboxuser", password "changeme") are not changed.

Your Visual Basic app password is not affected by Virtualbox, unless Visual Basic takes its password from your login password. Try troubleshooting this with Visual Basic's help channels.

You seem to be having problems with unexpected passwords being required: viewtopic.php?p=541842#p541842 Maybe there's something you're doing that doesn't need to be done?
