VMWare Fusion is now telling me my password for Windows 7 is incorrect. How can I access Windows 7 on my iMac running OS X Lion 10.7.5?

I am running Windows 7 via VMWare Fusion 4. I have always used the same password to access this on my iMac, but from yesterday I am being told my password is incorrect. I know my password is correct because I use the same one for my MacBook Pro and this still works.

I was never prompted to make a password re-set disk when I first used VMWare Fusion so this isn't an option for me.

I am using the smaller wifi keyboard Apple are so fond of sending with the iMac, so I don't have a clear CTRL-Alt-Del option either.

Can any one help me?

Can you try enable caps lock and try enter your password again?  I ever experienced that the caps was reversed in VM, but it is very rare.

Must open the onscreen keyboard from the accessibility option in  your windows . And trying providing the password from there.

As the symbols and controls got changed from mac to windows.
