    I am running Windows 7 Ultimate through Parallels 6 on an iMac.

    After having updated to Lion (and having updated to the recent Parallels version) the login screen shows "The username or password is incorrect". In the past (before updating), there was an automatic login. I didn't change that, I never defined an admin password, and the trick with the "blank password" didn't work.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Me too, except I have not tried the blank password trick, since it was not Windows 7 specific, and I am not running Win 7 Ultimate.

    I am having the same problem and was told by Support that it is a Windows issue. I have tried one of the programs for Windows to change passwords but it requires a boot disk and the disk is not recognized by Windows. Has anyone found an answer to the problem?

    This is an old thread but I thought I would post a link to a thread with a solution that worked for me with Windows 7 Professional 64-bit on Parallels 7 on a Mac mini running Mountain Lion OS X Server:

    Maybe save someone a little search time...
