Forgot Puppy password

Post by scraginagpup »

I have puppy (bionic 64) on a laptop computer, and it works fine...however I also have the same OS on a usb stick and stupidly put a password on booting to that stick...now I can't remember what it is...is there a way to remove it so I can boot to the stick version?
Thanks for your help!!

Exactly how did you do this?

In general Puppy operation.

Did you shutdown and make a save?
If yes.
The change is probably in the save.

Easy answer is delete the save file/folder from the USB.
Should be a file or directory named bionicpup64save.

Boot the USB.
It should now boot as it originally did the first time you booted it.

Shutdown making a new save to use for Puppy data storage.

The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be older.
This is not what I expected :o
