Locate the Virtual Machine Configuration File:

Go to the directory where your .pvm file is stored:
plaintext
~/Documents/Parallels/Your_VM_Name.pvm
Right-click the .pvm file → Show Package Contents.
Find the Configuration File:

Inside the .pvm folder, locate the config.pvs file.
Extract the Password Hash:

Open config.pvs with a text editor.
Look for the following section:
xml
<Security>
<PasswordHash>HASH_HERE</PasswordHash>
</Security>
Copy the value of PasswordHash.
Identify the Hash Algorithm:

Use a tool like hashid to identify the hash type:
bash
hashid -m HASH_HERE
Brute-Force the Hash:

Use tools like Hashcat or John the Ripper:
Hashcat:
bash
hashcat -m <hash_type> hash.txt wordlist.txt
