    Used the built in Parallels download/installer for Fedora 17.

    It downloaded, unarchives, and installed. Then at the sign in page, i selected user "parallels". It asks for the password.
    I've tried "parallels" "admin" "changeme", no have worked. Searched the forums & googled the web for answers, and nothing. Closest thing i found was a older post on here from a year ago on an older version of fedora/parallels that it was supposed to prompt me for a new password, and then reenter it to verify. Thinking i may have been too quick to click through the dialogs and missed it i deleted and re-downloaded/installed again, making sure to read before typing, it asks for a password (NOT a new one), and no matter what i put, it says "Authentication Failed"

    I found a video on YouTube that showed someone using PD7 & installing Fedora 16, and it asks for a new password, and reprompts to verity. What the preconfigured Fedora-17 install is doing is definitely different than what is in the video.

    Any help would be appreciated,
    Thanks.

    I'm having the same issue. I feel like I must be missing something obvious...

    I had a good look through the documentation and help sections as well, couldn't find it. So to change it:

    *Restart the VM.
    *On the grub menu select the Advanced Fedora Linux option.
    *Select Recovery mode. This will give you root.
    *Change password for the parallels user:
    passwd parallels
    *Get back to GUI:
    init 5
