To recover the password using the documented passwor recovery steps above shown by sandeep:::
You can use an ISO from a 1.3, 1.4 or 2.0 which are available for download (the versions don't have to match).
After all, you're not reimaging the system; you're only booting off the ISO to get to a boot option to recover the lost admin password.
Available boot options:
[1] Network Control System Installation (Keyboard/Monitor)
[2] Network Control System Installation (Serial Console)
[3] Recover administrator password. (Keyboard/Monitor)
[4] Recover administrator password. (Serial Console)

Followed the above can only find .OVA file shown? (PNP-KICKSTART-VM-1.2.11-medium.ova)
