are you talking of that in /etc/phpvirtualbox/config.php
class phpVBoxConfig {
/* Username / Password for system user that runs VirtualBox */
var $username = 'vboxweb';
var $password = '7mtA4Q_YGBwHKeH_';
/* SOAP URL of vboxwebsrv (not phpVirtualBox's URL) */
var $location = 'http://127.0.0.1:18083/';
/* Default language. See languages folder for more language options.
* Can also be changed in File -> Preferences -> Language in
* phpVirtualBox.
*/
var $language = 'en';
/* Set the standard VRDE Port Number / Range, e.g. 1010-1020 or 1027 */
var $vrdeports = '19000-19100';
/* Set the default VRDE address, e.g. 192.168.1.1 */
var $vrdeaddress = '192.168.56.13';
you can find the secret password at
cat /var/lib/nethserver/secrets/virtualbox
maybe you have a character that vbox doesn’t like ?
