    Pramesh, I have the same issue, but the article you cited above did not work for me. There is no "recovery mode" option for me in the Boot Manager

    I have the same problem.

    M1 Mac mini. Downloaded U22 and it doesn't work as suggested. The shift doesn't work. The ESC failed to bring up the boot order - only showing grub>

    It took me eight hours to resolve this issue.

    I'm still amazed why parallels doesn't have instructions to solve this problem.

    Solution:
    1. You have GNU GRUB version 2.06 open.
    2. Use the ls command to find in which partition ubuntu itself is located "ls (hd0,msdos1)/ "
    3. When you find it you need to load the kernel from that partition. Do the commands one by one:
    set root=(hd0,msdos1)
    linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1 ro single
    initrd /initrd.img
    boot
    4. After writing boot, the command line will boot with root privileges. In it you need to execute:
    mount -o remount,rw /
    passwd parallels
    5. Enter the new password and confirm again.
    6. After the change, reboot the system: reboot
