My Mac is running OS X 10.7.5 and as of last night when I use my parallels8 to open Windows7 it shows up for me to login with a password under my username- I never set this up- its never needed a password before it just opened my windows desktop when i clicked it to open. It doesn't work to leave it blank and I even reset my microsoft account password and that doesn't work either. Any way to get in??
Hi Andrea, Please follow the steps as suggested at http://kb.parallels.com/114193 which may help you in resolving the issue.
when i went through these steps it doesnt work because part way through it says Command completed with one or more errors. i know my password but windows wont accept it. so i tried re-setting with these instructions but i am still locked out.
Hi I am having the same issue (see below, I have removed the UUID in this instance, replaced with xxxx) Last login: Sun Jan 25 12:20:36 on console Signfits-iMac:~ admin$ prlctl list --all UUID STATUS IP_ADDR NAME {xxxx} running - Windows 7 Signfits-iMac:~ admin$ prlctl exec xxxx net user User accounts for \\ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- admin Administrator Guest The command completed with one or more errors. Signfits-iMac:~ admin$ and this has been happening for the past month. I did not set an original password, but got this message about 2 months ago, and although problem-solver 114193 worked then, it won't now. I cannot get support through the normal channels, as the website won't accept my support code (although I only purchased Parallels 8 in 2013, and I allegedly there should be two years support?!) Parallels (or anyone!), please help resolve this! I have been struggling with this now for ages! Thanks Padmini
Hi Parallels Team Please can you get back to me on my issue above? I received an email about 'getting started with parallels', not overly helpful, as I have already installed Parallels, which has been working brilliantly until now! Does the fact that I've received the email mean I have to re-install Parallels? I'm not sure, please explain. Please, please help. I have tax returns to file, and am unable to without getting in to Windows.
Hi Signfits, Please provide us a screenshot of the error message, we will check it and assist you further.
