Hello,
I am upgrading to BSD from windows.
I am having complications with an old password from Windows that I cannot
remember.
I created an ISO Boot CD on another computer and installed it and made sure
to set the BIOS to boot from CD, to no avail.
Is there a way to access the executable files from the CD and overwrite
windows for my BSD installation?
Welcome to FreeBSD!
FreeBSD and Windows are completely incompatible, I'm afraid. Can you
boot from usb? You can download a memstick img from the same place you
got your cd iso. More cost effective too - no old releases floating
around for years; you just reuse the same old memstick! ;)
If you try a memstick, make sure its big enough. Most of the smallest
usb sticks you can buy are about 4G anyway, so it will work. You need
about 1.5G. And I believe you can use SD or other memory cards as well.
