If you have to restore a properly backed up Virtual Machine that is not as current at least you'll have a working Virtual Machine and current User Data to go forward with when you find out your Time Machine Backup of the Virtual Machine fails.Note: To stop losing passwords we recommend to use password management software like Dashlane or google other apps yourself. Then keep the User Data that is stored within the Virtual Machine backed up off of the Virtual Machine on a regular basis so as to always have a current User Data Backup. At a minimum I would exclude Virtual Machines from Time Machine and with the Virtual Machines shutdown, not suspended, and VMware Fusion closed then manually copy the Virtual Machines Package(s) to an alternate location, preferably on to a different physical hard disk. Also backing up Virtual Machines via Time Machine is disk/time intensive and wastes a tremendous amount of space for something that may be corrupt and worthless come time to restore it. *It is a known fact that Time Machine is not 100% reliable backing up/restoring Virtual Machines under all circumstances/conditions. If you need to retrieve User Data you can temporarily add the old virtual hard disk to the new Virtual Machine and gather the User Data and then remove the old virtual hard disk. Otherwise I have nothing else to offer except to say build a new Virtual Machine and keep proper * backups of it in case this happens again. So I'm assuming if you are typing and it all come out in CAPS then if that will toggle on yours like it did on mine then one would think you could get logged in. You say you cannot use it however have you actual tried using it? I tried it on my Mac OS X 10.6.8 Server Virtual Machine at the Login and it does toggle the state of the caps lock key. Message was edited by: WoodyZ - Added note about clicking into the VM's Display. You'll know you've done it right as you see a different object on the screen at the bottom as it shows the progress of the the loading OS, much less the login screen will say Safe Boot in red.
Note: With the Virtual Machine shutdown, not suspended, click the Start button in the middle of the Virtual Machine's Display and then you have to mouse click into the Display so the VM has focus not the Host and them press and hold the Shift Key. I also tested the various Terminal methods as described in the Apple KB linked in this and the other thread you have going and this method works as well. I tested it using both the Default and Mac Keyboard Profiles and both work. Yes it is possible to do with the Keyboard, I just did it on a Mac OS X 10.6 Server VM running VMware Fusion 5.0.3 on my 2013 MBP with Retina Display (15.4/2.8/16GB/768GB Flash).
That can be done with a normal Mac (host) just pressing the key Shift at booting, but I cannot see how to do it with a VM. Is it possible to start up such VM in safe mode (to try and repair itself)? I mean, imagine that the VM does not boot but gets stuck or something. Is it possible to start up in safe mode before the virtual machine boots and shows the Mac Desktop?
