Welcome to the forum
your question is a little lacking in detail.
If it’s your Parrot USER password, the following may give you some guidance,

HOW-TO Reset a VM user password
===============================

If you forget the user's password for a VM, the simplest solution is to restart
the VM into ``single user`` mode.

Originally the fix found on `this thread`_ on AskUbuntu_

1. Reboot the VM and, during the GRUB splash-screen, hit ``ESC``

2. With the list of options available, hit the ``e`` key and, in the
   editor presented, add ``single`` at the end of a line similar to
   this one::

        linux /boot/vmlinux-3.13...-generic root=UUID=<uuid> ro

   so that it looks like this::

        linux /boot/vmlinux-3.13...-generic root=UUID=<uuid> ro single
