Hello,
I have a fairly new HP laptop (HP 15 Notebook PC that came with Windoze 10 pre-installed). I installed Kubuntu 16.06.4 LTS a few months ago (entire disk). My wife now wants to use the laptop, but I've forgotten the PW I used. I know, bonehead move on my part. Anyway, I loaded the install DVD I used and attempted to boot to it so I could set up another user, but the laptop will not boot to the internal optical drive.
I got into the BIOS > System Configuration >Boot Order, and found the boot order is:
Internal CD/DVD ROM drive
>OS boot Manager
USB Diskette on key/USB Hard Disk
USB CD/DVD ROM Drive
! Network Adapter
Except for the triangle in front of the 2nd item above, it looks like the optical drive should boot first (if there's bootable media in it of course), but it does not.
I tried with Legacy Support Disabled and Enabled... no joy!
I have secure boot Disabled and never tried to Enable it because I don't know what that does.
The DVD has to be bootable since that's how I installed Kubuntu in the first place.
Please advise.
