Bitdefender Rescue Disk-username And Password

I am a computer tehnician from Romania and I have problems too with the Rescue CD. I am ashamed that the BD team did not respond to this question and another one regarding the same problem (name and pass). This day I was asked for the first time about name and pass when using Rescue CD. I googled for a solution and I got here thinking that if the address is from BD.ro my case will be solved.

Any tehnician ... heloooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

Hello

Our Rescue CD doesn't need an user or a password.

Hi Christian (or anyone at BD who knows this answer),

I too am having the same problem. Yes, your Rescue CD *DOES* need a login user ID and password to run. Why do you think we're asking about it? The links you provided are exactly where I downloaded the ISO from.

The CD looks promising but being that it cannot be run without the login information, it's impossible to tell. Please let the cat out of the bag and tell us how in the world we can use this very needful tool. Thanks.

Hello Christian,

Interesting. I wonder what would explain this anomaly. Attached is a photo of the login prompt. Whaddaya make of it?

I'll have to try it on a different PC when I have the time. The PC I was trying to use it on is a P4 2.4 Ghz Dell with 256 Mb of RAM. Out of 6 different Rescue CDs, only 2 would run with that little memory -- yours and Kaspersky. I don't know what memory would have to do with the logon prompt but right now it's the only variable I can think of. At any rate, thanks for your help, Christian.

Regards,

Paul

Hi Christian,

I downloaded it yesterday (and have since deleted it). I believe it was BitDefender Rescue CD v2.0.0.5. I'll burn it again with the link you just provided. Thanks, Christian.

the same problem

It show

Hello

Welcome to the forums.

Please tell when did you downloaded the Rescue CD? Yesterday?

Thank you.

Hi Christian,

I've tried it today.

Both Rescue CD's seems to be identical. And both of them needs a login and password.

You will receive a prompt to enter a username and a password only when the machine doesn't have enough memory,for example 256 MB RAM.

The rescue CD should be run on computers running at least 512 MB RAM.

Hey Christian,

The problem is I am running 2 1Gb sticks of 3200 memory and I too get the same issue. It appears that the PC my Son gave me has a windows Malware Virus. I tried the Anti-Malware and got a locked up PC. I then was able to load and run a PCBSD 9 with no issues on the second hd. So each time I attempted to load a windows product I got a unable to boot error. I figured it was the MBR when the second drive would not allow a USB boot as well as any drive attached to the Addonics SIl BIOS SATA card connected SATA drives. I then ran across a Forum Post from bird2010 created 28 Oct 2011 entitled "Bios Virus and MBR Virus, Very severe BIOS Virus" and realized I too had the same issue.

I followed all the procedures they had applied except the BIOS reboot as the Intel D865GVIP does not have a BIOS available nor can you return to the native BIOS as the only option are remove the jumper to boot to a new version or move the jumper to pins 2-3 to enter Maintenance Mode. Needless to say I did not enter Maintenance mode and block boot writes until after I had failures.

In any case the MB is a Intel D865GVIP loaded with 2 GB and a PCI Addonics SATA RAID card. For Drives is the original hp TSS DVD drive and the 320mb hd that came with the original a6110n. I have removed all the SATA connections and have added an old Lenovo DVD R/W IDE PATA drive. I burned the Rescue-CD-627.html on a -RW DVD and installed it in the PATA DVD drive and booted, it blanked the screen until bitdefender poppped up and then LOGO for about 3 min. until got the same as the others here.

It Popped up a request for Username and Password with the default username as bitdefender. As I am always looking for my next best Defense software for my various platforms and being a old (very old) McAfee champion I had hoped that I had a new candidate for my future security software. (Currently use Mobile Care on android tablets and McAfee on Desktops.) As bitdefender seemed to have a working solution at a time when no one else did oir made public on the searchable internet, made it appear that bitdefender could be a consideration; however, without the ability to resolve my current issue it will make it difficult to evaluate. Moving forward..., it is imperative we move forward here. So if indeed the rescue takes up onboard memory to create a virtual linux system and I had 2 1Gb sticks and a min. Linux foot print can be loaded on 1Gb then we should be looking at 1 GB of free memory. Yes I rechecked the seating and insure that 2gb shows up in the BIOS boot.

So in reiteration of the above concerns, what username and password should I apply?

Hello

I just loaded that ISO in a virtual machine and is working properly.

This is the image used:

Have you selected the first option when the CD loaded the menu?

Take care.

I downloaded the rescue disk ISO on July 16 2014 from

http://download.bitdefender.com/rescue_cd/...0_5_10_2010.iso

File info: 14-Jul-2014 12:37 658M

When I try to run the CD, I am prompted with "login" and "password". What should I enter here?

Yet another requirement to enter a login and password.

Computer is an HP pavilion laptop with 4 GB ram ....

Help would be appreciated. Surely the programmers must know the programme doesn't write itself: they must know the data entry routine and hence know the acceptable answers.

Just downloaded the latest version (v2.0.0_5_10_2010), or at least that is where I found it on the bitdefender website. I have 8gb on my PC, and when trying to boot from the CD I still get prompted for

rescuecd login:

and

password:

Just wondering if ANYBODY has been able to use this latest version. I have an earlier version that works fine but was trying to upgrade to latest version. Writing CD goes without a hitch, but there doesn't seem to be a way to get past username and password prompt so the CD is useless

Any ideas?

I came across the answer on another site.

Username: livecd

Password: (leave blank)

At the prompt type in: startx

After that, the liveCD will take you to the GUI

Good job Jshan, that worked for me. Just for perspective, I downloaded and burned the latest ISO and it worked on all my windows computers but not any of the computers I had linux / ubuntu or dual boot_s. I used the above and went right to work. Thanks.

username is : livecd

leave password blank if asked...

then type 'startx' (minus the quotes of course) at the $prompt

this worked for me
