This command is used to check the current encryption password on a DEK encrypted medium/image. See Section 9.31.2, “Encrypting disk images”" for details.

The syntax is as follows:

VBoxManage checkmediumpwd <uuid|filename>
                                      <pwd file|->
  • Use <uuid|filename> to supply the uuid or absolute path of the medium/image to be checked.

  • Use <pwd file|-> to supply the password identifier to be checked. Either specify the absolute pathname of a password file on the host operating system, or - to prompt you for the password on the command line.
