I've an old VMware virtual machine (.VMDK).
It has been installed as Windows XP. It runs but I forgot the Windows password to login.
Is it possible to use the VM as a virtual drive and just READ OUT THE FILES stored into it as it was a normal HD?
I don't need to execute the VM, only to recover some data.

You can mount a vmdk file in Windows or Linux, read HERE. Becuase it is password protected C drive I would mount it in Linux and just copy what I needed since Linux will read the filesystem without the need for a password where windows is likely not going to allow you to read without the password.

I used to be able to access the filesystem of WSL in Windows (such as via File Explorer) via a local file path.
I recently upgraded to WSL 2, and from what I've heard, the file system is on the network. Does anyone know how I could access files from within WSL2 from the Windows side?
Just type in the explorer: \\wsl$\

To access file system on remote server you can use SFTP to transfer file between systems.

I'm trying to install and configure some apps in VM in Windows Server but have a limited access to the Windows server so I'm trying to do all the configuration in a local VM in my Ubuntu system then export the VM to the server. Is it possible?
Most virtualization systems can handle OVF format. You can create VM on VirualBox, save it to OVF (or OVA) and then restore it in VMWare ESXi environment, for example. OVF contains a "hard drive" data and all virtual hardware info. But OVF is not fully compatible with Microsoft Hyper-V. There are some tools that allows OVF file to be converted into Hyper-V compatible form, but all the hardware information will be lost.

I am using win-sshfs to mount a remote drive from a Debian Linux server on a windows 7 64-bit desktop machine over the internet. The drive works but it is slow. I want to speed up win-sshfs by disabling compression and encryption. How can I do this? Otherwise is there a faster alternative?
i would suggest installing samba on your debian server or maybe a ftp server for large file transfers.
FTP is unencrypted and you can set different compression options,
windows can map a ftp:// share in explorer without any tools

You may install VMWare Tools to share folders to share file between guest OS and host OS.
In above article, Windows 7 is not included, you can share file across windows 7.
