I installed a Windows 10 system on Virtual Box 7.0, in a Ubuntu 22.04 machine.
When I installed Windows 10, a user named "vboxuser" was automatically created and I began to use it.
Now, when I try login, I received a message indicating that the password has expired and that I should enter another one, but it asks for the old one that I don't know what it is. The password field was always blank.
I also tried to sign in with my Microsoft account but I get the wrong password warning (when it's not wrong).
Is there any way to solve this problem?
When installing Windows using the wizard in Virtualbox, the default password for vboxuser is changeme
(at least in my case. using virtualbox 7.0.4)

I am trying to install redhat (rhel8) in virtualBox 6.1 on a windows 10 64 bit Home edition machine.
I verified the checksum of the iso file after download and its correct (I compared the checksum against another friend iso file who is able to install properly), still I am getting exception like
dnf.exceptions.error some packages from local repository have incorrect checksum
I even tried to run troubleshooting, but it raise exceptin like
failed to start media check on /dev/sr0 virtualbox
I have downloaded the iso files from multiple places and every time it gives me the same exception.
Any help is highly aprreciated.
Finally I found the reason for the above error.
Virtual Box uses virtualization to run multiple Operating Systems and in one system (let's say a windows machine) only one of the application will be allowed to use system virtualization capability.
So we have to disable any manual virtualization if performed in the system.
So we can disable virtualization by following ways:
Search for “Turn Windows features on or off” in the Start menu, hit
the Enter key to open the Windows Features window. Here, scroll down
to Hyper-V and disable it by clearing checkbox next to it. Then click
OK
Disable Hyper-V by using command.
Press Windows logo key + X, then hit A to run Command Prompt as administrator. In Command Prompt window, type
bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off
and hit Enter key to execute this command.
Finally restart system.
I've just downloaded latest Citrix Receiver onto my Windows 10 64 bit system.
Everything works ok with one exception.
Every time I launch the calling browser, whether Chrome, Edge or Firefox, I'm prompted to download latest version of Citrix Receiver.
Does not seem to be an option to avoid this, so have to do and when the download executes it reports latest version already loaded and I can then get onto my remote site.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Perry
maybe you need to run Citrix install as admin, so it can write to the registry or where it is that the browser is checking
I am using ubuntu 14.04 on windows 7 machine using the VMware player. I am not able to login to ubuntu. After I enter my password it comes back to the lock screen. The password i entered is correct. If it is not correct it says invalid password. Only when i enter the correct password it loads the lock screen again in 2-3 secs.
Anyone can help me how to get out of this?
Did you install any toolkit or something? Usually it happens when an external display driver is installed on top of the VM graphics driver. May be the driver is not compatible with in and that is why the display was not working.
If you have installed any toolkit, check if it has any graphics driver within it. If so, Uninstall the toolkit if you have installed any and see if its working.
I am trying to setup RavenDB on my new Windows 8 dev machine. I have enabled Windows Authentication on that particular site and disabled Anonymous Authentication. I am logged in as a Local User account, which is also a member of Administrator. This normally works just fine on my previous Windows 7 dev machine. In this one I keep getting asked for login. I have tried using the account I'm logged in as but I keep getting asked to log in. I'm simply trying to use the RavenDB Studio.
I have tried this on Chrome and IE - probably missing something obvious/fundamental but can't think of what. Any ideas please? Thanks.
I was using unstable 1.2 build 2139. It was fixed in build 2140.
For years Windows XP (32 bit)was my development desktop (personal projects). I develop many hobby projects and distribute it as open source and have never worried or bothered about checking it in Vista (I have used Vista only for a week). But none of my users have complained much about my apps in Vista.
Now I have moved to Windows 7 64 Bit OS (RTM). I am using Visual Studio 2008. I am developing an application which I am planing to sell.
I am using SQLite DB for data storage and everything went well until I decided to instal my first version in my laptop. Boom! app did not work as expected. I found that even though I was an admin user the app was not able to write to the DB (it said readonly).
Note: In windows 7 even if the logged in user has admin privileges, it prompts for confirmation if a process (sometimes even copy paste between drives) requires admin access. Not sure if this is new. Ignore if this is something old.
When I ran the app as "run as Administrator" it worked fine.
The app.manifest file has the following setting.
<requestedExecutionLevel level="asInvoker" uiAccess="false" />
I understand I can change it to either of the following
<requestedExecutionLevel level="asInvoker" uiAccess="false" />
<requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false" />
<requestedExecutionLevel level="highestAvailable" uiAccess="false" />
My question is if I change the setting to "requireAdministrator" will it affect normal users who dont have admin previleages?
How can I make my DB writable for a normal user?
How will this setting affect Windows XP users?
What is the best configuration which will let everyone update the DB without any issues?
This is the first time I am facing such an issue with security. Any advises?
Note: I will be testing this app in every possible OS. I ran a test in Vista 32 bit os (admin user) and it worked fine. But my experience with Windows 7 confused me.
Yes, normal users will have to supply administrator credentials.
Install your DB to a user writeable location or use a service / IPC to write to the DB for you.
Per-user database if possible. You can store the per-user stuff in user writable locations like AppData. If not, then using service/IPC to do the writes for you.
Your best bet is to install virtual machines with you're target OS's installed. You never really know what will happen until you test.
