26.5 Recovery Mode unable to disable SIP

In the latest 26.5, when creating a VM we can no longer disable SIP. We have confirmed we're using the proper admin user (anka) and its proper password (same one we log into the GUI with). It just keeps asking for the password as if it's wrong.

It's critical we can disable SIP for VMs like we have been in previous versions.

Thanks. That seems like the best path forward for this.

Just to clarify:

  • Is the problem dependent solely on the version of the guest? For example, if you try macOS 26.4 host with macOS 26.5 beta guest, do you still see the problem?
  • Does this only affect your VM product? Or can you reproduce it with other common Virtualization-based apps?
