Unlock password with hiren 12
 

I have booted into my Linux cd it asked for the rid or username. By default it shows me the administrators username and when I try to put the Rid for the user it doesn't do anything maybe I'm doing it wrong please help. I need to unlock the password

Welcome to LQ.
Which one would that be ? ?

Usually the password is "on screen", for live cd´s.

Examples : Kali/Backtrack : The root password is toor.
PCLinuxOS : The root password is root. User guest : Password is guest.

Hiren 12 : Not updated for four years : Not really safe to use.
.. And all the "Anti Virus tools" are useless.

Google, hirens boot cd 15.2 password reset
