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)

  Boot existing OS from Hard Disk.
