how to configure username when creating parallels ubuntu VM

Question

parallels desktop creates a username called 'parallels' instead of letting you choose. Is there a way to configure it? (to avoid going through https://askubuntu.com/questions/34074/how-do-i-change-my-username)

EDIT: this seems possible only when creating a VM from a downloadable iso, not from the built in options

Answer 1

If you're starting from scratch, it's easier and cleaner to just add a new administrator user and delete the default parallels user. If you use the GUI's System Settings > User Account, it's extremely easy.
