    No password


    Okay after some trouble i managed to install a virtual windows 7 (to test out all my programs i dunno if they work) but i forgot to fill in a password and now i'm unable to log-on. Does this mean i got to reïnstall it again? or is there some other option?

    Hello Wiisper,

    You should get a option after trying to logon without a password to continue to login without the password, then be able to add a password in the virtual W7 as you normally would for a user account.

    Hope this helps,
    Shawn

    LOL, you're welcome Wiisper. Don't feel bad, I missed it myself the first few times to.
