Problem with Username or Password is invalid.

I am running VMWARE Fusion 5 on OSX 10.8.x

The question is when my windows image (Win 7) loads it starts with the Default Username (mine) and says username or password is invalid.

The username is different between the two machines but the password is the same.

Where is the username and password set between OSX and Win7 so that it either login occurs or just the username/password WIN 7 dialog appears.

I can't find reference to this in any documentation but it must be a setting somewhere.

It's a nagging error. Does anyone have insight as to how to get it resolved?

Log into Windows by entering the password.

Type "control userpasswords2" without quotation marks in the search field and press Enter.

Enable "Users must enter a user name and password" option.

This should fix that annoying error. Smiley Happy
