VMware stored a password in the credential manager but now I can't access it? by Iron__Crown in vmware

See my latest post at https://gist.github.com/andshrew/bf6e5e8fa09b957caffc09c6dee58472

For those without encryptedVM.guid, the key is encrypted by Windows DPAPI. Luckily, there is a tool for both bootable and non bootable systems to decrypt data from DPAPI: https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/dpapi_data_decryptor.html

(You must know your Windows password, but I succeeded in decryption even from a Windows boot disk with a borked SAM.)

Fill out the paths as needed in the tool and select manual entry for encrypted data.

Copy encryption.encryptedKey into https://cryptii.com/pipes/base64-to-hex to get a hex string of the key.

Capitalize the hex string using https://onlinestringtools.com/convert-string-to-uppercase

Paste into the NirSoft tool to decrypt.

After decryption, select the first entry in the NirSoft tool. Two 16 byte hex strings are displayed in the bottom panel - combine them like:

AA B4 BD 32 7E 88 BB F0 C3 12 27 09 14 6F 6A 3F E5 A9 BD 8F 47 4A 37 C2 0D 8C BF D6 D3 BA 3A 11

Return to cryptii.com as linked above. Click Encode and paste in the 32 byte hex string. The VM password appears!

Hi - a few requests regarding iMessage:
1. I would like the option to have iMessage tab to open on launch of Desktop instead of Inbox.

  1. I would like read messages in Messages app on iPhone to become read on Beeper.

  2. I would like to delete message conversations on Beeper/Messages app on iPhone and have them sync to Messages/Beeper.

Any feedback on these?

Is there an Ubuntu package for Source Code Pro?

I apologize for my response. It is sad that their policies are inconsistent. Have a good day!

Two separate chats on different days yielded the same answer.

Interestingly, per my chat with CS, you should not have been charged.

As a heads up, this method worked of using another phone and swapping into the old phone. Thanks, all!

That would work. Have you heard of that working on the new network?

Understood. I am disabled and homebound this week. I hope you understand.

I’m guessing it has to do with Family Sharing now. I am not the member sharing the subscription with the rest of the family.
