<title>Decrypting Encrypted VMs</title>
<body>
<p>In some circumstances it might be required to decrypt previously encrypted VMs. This can be done in <ph
conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/vbox-mgr"/> or using <userinput>VBoxManage</userinput> with the following
command: </p>
<pre xml:space="preserve">VBoxManage encryptvm <varname>uuid</varname>|<varname>vmname</varname> setencryption --old-password <varname>file</varname>|-</pre>
<p>The only required parameter is the password the VM was encrypted with. The options are the same as for encrypting
VMs. </p>
