I successfully encrypted a VM image and confirmed it still runs. I then closed the VM and reopened it and confirmed the encryption password was valid and worked. However, now I want to un-encrypt the VM. When I choose that option, it asks for "your password". I assume this means the password I created when I encrypted it. It doesn't work. I can still open the VM with the password and run it. But, it refuses to remove the encryption using that password.

Am I missing something? Is there a password that I don't know about?

Some details:

• I created this image (using standalone converter; physical machine source)
• I converted it to ACE
• Converted back to a normal VM (un-ACE'd it)
• Encrypted it
• Cannot remove the encryption but can open it and run it

As you can see... I am exploring the VMware features. Thanks for any guidance you can give.
