Hello, I tried search but didn't find. I'm running on Debian Stretch (host) and installed
Virtualbox. Now I try to install extension pack but it ask password. I give su password
and ext pack don't accept it. If I give my own password (when I log to Debian) it's
also no good. Same if I leave it blank. So what is the password.

The extension pack doesn't require a password. You are going to need to give more details on how you are trying to install it so we can figure out what you are doing wrong.

Depending on the way you install it the Ext pack installation on Linux will ask for the root password because the installer needs elevated rights.

I tried to install it via GUI. File > Prefences > Extensions and I select downloaded
ext file. Everything is OK. But then it asks password. And root password is no good for ext pack.
If there is another way fox example via CLI I would be thankful.
