I need to recover the administrator password for Windows 7 running under Parallels Desktop. I have an ophcrack live CD, which I downloaded and burned from the ophcrack site but cannot get the Parallels VM to start up from the disk.

Anybody have experience recovering passwords on Parallels Windows VMs? Is there another route? I have the whole HD cloned on a FW drive, if that might help...
