I've downloaded the Windows 7 .vhd from Microsoft's site. I created a virtual PC from that .vhd. It runs OK, but the welcome screen want a password for one of the accounts (admin and administrator).

I've tried guessing a few passwords but with no luck...

Anyone knows the correct password?

Have you tried no password? I would simply create my own virtual machine. – Ramhound Jun 3 '11 at 18:30
Also the username is almost certainly only administrator, not admin. – KCotreau Jun 3 '11 at 18:51

You don't say where you downloaded this image but I guess you downloaded it from Microsofts Internet Explorer Application Compatibility VPC Image. If you scroll down on that page you can read this line

The password to login to all of these images is Password1 and the username will be present when you first login

If you cannot figure out a password, you can use a tool (NT Password) found at this website to hack it. Just mount the ISO image to the virtual machine and have the virtual machine boot to it. It is a very easy command line style tool. Enter will get you through most questions, as it answers wit the default answer.
