Changing Startup Login Credentials

I have what I think is a simple question (I'm a Parallels newb).

When I start up my Windows 7 VM, it tries to automatically log me in as...
User: Administrator
Password: (blank)

However, I've changed the admin password, and I want to log in with a different account.

Is there any way to change the credentials that Parallels tries to automatically log me in with?
 
I've been looking for a solution to this problem for months!
Any answer?
As I have a password for Administrator PLUS I never login with that user account (I always use my own), I'm sick of seeing the crashed login screen on Windows Guest start due to wrong account/password Parallels has specified...

As far as I can tell, Parallels Desktop 5 does not have an automatic logon feature.

Automatic logon is a feature of Windows. Google automatic logon and you'll find several pages for Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 that tell you to run the following (which you can also google):

control userpasswords2
