  • I’m very sorry, I missed the part when you said you didn’t know the user password. My bad!

    It sounds like the way that the user space is managed in your bios won’t permit any other alternatives other than the possibility of deleting the user account using the administrator account? Is that possible?

    You’re not gonna be able to reset that password unless you know it. That’s kind of the point of the password. Unfortunately, it seems that your bios does not allow for you to change the user password without knowing the old one, but it may let you delete the account altogether and re-create it with a new password. That however, may cause a bunch of other problems that I can’t really predict without knowing a lot more information.

    Don’t try doing this until we talked about this a bit more.

  • Did you try typing in the user password instead of the admin password when it asks for a password?

    It probably wants you to authenticate as that user in order to delete the password requirement for it. The admin account probably doesn’t let you alter any of the settings for a different user. User space management with bios is often limited.

  • Aren’t encryption keys, typically in the partition header? Wouldn’t that be one of the first things overwritten? Even if it was in the FAT or in the GUID, it would have been overwritten when a the ISO was written.
