I'm getting an error in Virtual Box and I'm getting below what should I do Please help me

You are in emergency mode. After logging in, type 'journalctl-xb' to view system logs, 'systemctl reboot'
'systemctl default' or ctrl D to try again into default mode
Give your root password for maintenance
(or press Ctrl D to continue)

Help me out here..!!

Firstly, have you ever booted it successfully? If not, OK and if so what changed. What happens when you run the commands suggested?

Well, have you tried those suggestions?

Hello bobby999; tho 'for experts'

, you saw it's Debian/Ubu based; so, welcome to LQ

But you overlooked

key things, which I just wrote in a blog here:
1) web-search error msg! Just doing that, will likely solve your problem! fast+learn

3) give us your 'cookbook' steps, so we can see where things break! And bits of my 4)

And my concluding blog-thought: don't give up (over post#3); try again & succeed

p.s. There's 'pre-installed' Kali VBox here.

Emergency mode is runlevel 1, where you can log in and repair what's broken. Journalctl -xb is a command to run after you log in with the root password. It should tell you what the problem is, so you know what to repair.

I ran into this issue while trying to install Guest Additions and made changes to fstab found in /etc/fstab following a resource trying to address the issue installing the guest additions. If you happened to make any changes to this file, that could be the source of the problem and undoing those changes should fix this issue.

Perhaps, in fixing this issue, you could attempt to learn enough about Linux to help you on your way to using Kali.
Research, learn, experiment, learn. If you're not capable of or willing to do that then do not use Kali as it is not intended for you.
