Question Answered By: Adah Miller   on Feb 07

Where is the password? I've tried recovery mode and at the end it asks for a
name and password. I put in what I set up when I installed Ubuntu. Ubuntu tells
me it's incorrect.

The computer is a 2 hard drive dual boot. No anything but Ubuntu on one drive.

Is it possible that since I overwrote W2K when originally installing Ubuntu that
Ubuntu thinks there is a Windows password? The other drive is XP. I have never
set up a password for login on Windows as I'm the only user 99% of the time. The
tech leaves all passwords blank. So what is it looking for? Since no passwords
were ever set up, there shouldn't be anything in the BIOS.

I'm one of the few that gets a straight install of Windows from the tech. I use
different security programs than he uses and he knows the first thing I will do
is load the security and necessary precautions if he has to wipe the Windows
drive to upgrade.

I would really like to know just what Ubuntu is searching for.
