Is it even possible to pass commands to a vm's console window? I'm looking at resetting a bunch of passwords on pfsense, which is two keystrokes after you open the a console window.. I get the strong feeling it isn't.. Only remote connections to vm is HTTPS, but we don't know all the passwords to the pfsense machines..
On idea we came up with was the following.. We would add serial ports to the the vm and then use the console via serial mode to connect to the pfsense.. This way we could script something.. So I guess this answers my question..

Inventive idea, let us know if that did what you wanted to do.
Curious if that works.
