That's the output from the VirtualBox logs: 00:11:50.410165 ERROR [COM]: aRC=VBOX_E_IPRT_ERROR (0x80bb0005) aIID={dfa39a36-5d43-4840-a025-67ea956b3111} aComponent={GuestProcess} aText={Invalid user/password credentials}, preserve=false The problem has been posted in the VirtualBox forums as you can see from this link: https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=53580. They confirmed it and insisted it's a FreeBSD problem. >How-To-Repeat: 1. Boot the FreeBSD guest. 2. Ensure that the virtualbox-ose-additions are installed and the services are running. 3. from the host machine run VBoxManage --nologo guestcontrol execute --image "/usr/bin/uname" --username --password --wait-exit --wait-stdout where is the name of the VirtualBox virtual machine, is a user on the FreeBSD guest and is the password. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
