virt-manager ask for a password to enter the VM !
so I figured out that I needed to set the root password this way
# prlctl set dhcpntp --userpasswd root:secret
Operation failed. Failed to execute the operation. (Details: Guest agent 
is not responding: QEMU guest agent is not connected)
Failed to configure the virtual machine.

again I am trapped in a vicious circle ! I really wonder how you did 
enter / log in the VM without guest agent ?
