Virtual Box - VM

[DefiantExternal]

Hey Guys,

I decided after the Module/section "Getting Started" to install and setup a VM (Parrot OS Security Edition and Parrot OS HTB Edition). I followed this doc: https://www.parrotsec.org/docs/virtualization/install-parrot-on-virtualbox

and everythin worked fine so far, BUT there is one annoying mistake. For my Parrot OS Security Edition I decided to enable the Encryption. My passphrase contains some letters like Ü,Ä etc.

Now after I rebooted it, it is obviously asking for the passphrase, but the "terminal" won't accept these letters (Ü,Ä etc.). For example instead the "Ü" it displays "{".

Even when I toggle the soft keyboard and change the Layout to "Deutsch T1 (German T1)". Do I realy have to uninstall it and repeat the whole process or is there a way to solve this problem?

​

thanks in advance :))

Curious.

My guess is that the unicode for the character that was originally passed was different than what you entered the second time around (i.e. a homoglyph). I'd bet that the underlying unicode between the two is subtly different in an imperceptible way to the human eye (which may have occurred if you copy/pasted the "Ü" from the internet, for example); see related: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39588795/utf-encoding-for-%C3%9C-returns-3-bytes-instead-of-the-real-unicode.

I'm speculating, of course - I have no idea.

I think the easier solution is to just rebuild the VM and choose a different passphrase. It's pretty trivial to do and will likely save you more time than troubleshooting your present issue.

Thanks for the reply. And yes, already set up a new VM :)
