Setting Up a Virtual Machine 60
7 After you click Start, New Virtual Machine Wizard will automatically start the new virtual
machine and install the guest operating system in it. After the guest OS has been
successfully installed, Parallels Desktop installs Parallels Tools.
During the unattended installation, Parallels Desktop creates an administrator account with a
blank password. When the guest OS installation is complete, we recommend that you change the
password in order to protect the safety of your data.
To change the administrator password in Windows Vista:
1 Click the Start menu, then select Control Panel -> User Accounts and Family Safety -> Change
your Windows password.
To change the administrator password in Windows XP (Professional Edition):
1 Click the Start menu, then select Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer
Management.
2 In the Computer Management window, open System Tools -> Local Users and Groups ->
Users. Right-click the Administrator account and choose Set Password from the context
menu.
