    I'm trying to install OS X Yosemite from the Recovery partition.
    • Running System (not VM): OS X 10.10.2
    • Parallels Desktop: 10.2.0 (28956)
    I did the following:
    1. Parallels: create new VM
    2. from recovery partition
    3. OS X Utilities: Reinstall OS X
    4. Message 'To download and restore OS X, your computer's eligibility will be verified with Apple.': Continue
    5. Licence Agreement: Agree
    6. I have read...: Agree
    7. Select the disk shows Mac HD and Recovery HD: choosing Mac HD and select Install
    8. Message appears 'Signing in to App Store
    9. Sign in to download from App Store: entering my working username and password
      (also switched to German keyboard as I have a Swiss Mac, but it's neither working with US or German keyboard)
      --> '@' sign in username looks a bit strange but I guess it's because the installation does not support the retina display
    10. Now a message appears, that my account is disabled or that the password is wrong or that the account is locked
    11. When I logout and login again to App Store on my real OS X it works fine
    Does anybody have an idea what's going on? Is this a Parallels bug? Am I doing something wrong?

    Hi MartinS2,
    Could you install the latest build of Parallels Desktop 10 and check if it helps.
