I cannot the program - I keep getting the "Login incorrect or forbidden by policy" message. I choose "live" for boot then I login with "ubuntu" then I hit return at the password box (it won't let me type anything into it) and then I get the error message. Using latest version 64 bit. Spent hours trying to no avail. Help appreciated.

Hi Andy, I have read all the posts in the help part of the forum and already followed this advice.
Specifically, I have checked the ISO file and it is OK.
On the login screen I do type in the username: ubuntu
after that a password box comes up. The box already has a thin vertical bar already in it and you cannot type anything into it. When you hit the keyboard nothing happens. So, I have no choice but to leave it blank (minus the thin vertical bar already in it) and hit enter. After a few seconds I get the error message "Login incorrect or forbidden by policy"
Very frustrating. I have tried many, many times.

I spent all Sunday morning trying to get this installed - I followed directions in all the posts in this forum dealing with the issue. I made multiple BIOS changes, downloaded 2 copies of your prgram, checked files. Nothing worked.
Finally, due to my own frustration I installed Mint Cinnamon Linux ( easy install) and am adding amateur radio programs as needed.
Looks like you have a great program/project here. Somehow I could not get it to work, but may try again sometime.
Thanks for your help.

Thank you for your input. I truly wish my problem would have been that simple to solve. I tried repeatedly using "ubuntu" as the username. I actually tried several times both with and without the quotation marks just to be sure.

Hi Alex: if you send me a screenshot, I'll continue to debug the issue. I can't fix it if I can't see it or reproduce it. Your effort might help to prevent somebody else from having an experience similar to yours.

As per my earlier response, i did go ahead and install Cinnamon Mint (which installed very easily) and I really don't have the ability at the moment to try your linux version right now - I don't have a clean hard drive and don't wish to format the current drive and start over.
If it helps at all - I did enter the "live" version at the first screen. I did use "ubuntu" both with and without the quotation marks ( since it was not working with ubuntu alone is the only reason I tried with the marks).
At the passord prompt I entered nothing (version 22b) and when that did not work I tried with the paasword - kb1oiq - I even tried substituting zero for "o" in case I was entering the wrong character.
I changed mutiple BIOS settings without getting anywhere.
Whatever I did, when I hit return after the password prompt I would get the message: "Login incorrect or forbidden by policy"
I also twice checked the file intergrity and acutally dowloaded the program twice.
I believe I'm pretty knowledgeable with computers and software and could just not get this to work.
I really am interested in yoursoftware and will likely give it a try again when I am able to do so.

The "correct login and password" changed at one point in this project. If you are using any flavor of version 23, the login is "ubuntu" and the password is "kb1oiq". Please be sure these are lower case, and omit the double quotes.
Also, I've seen strange problems when the download is corrupted. Please check the MD5SUM as described here:
Lastly, please send me a clear photo or some other screenshot so I can see exactly what you are experiencing. Please include the exact version that you've downloaded.

The "Login incorrect or forbidden by policy" means that the username or password (or both) are incorrect. For the password, please be sure you are typing my callsign "kb1oiq", which is:
lowercase k
lowercase b
number 1
lowercase o
lowercase i
lowercase q
I only know the Linux environment, so I cannot advise you how to run an MD5SUM program on the ISO file in Windoze or Apple. I found this article that might help, but I have no way to test it since I don't own any computers that run Windoze.
You said "75 this way", but I don't know what that means.
My guess at this time is that you might have typed the lowercase letter L instead of the number 1 when you typed the password, or your download is somehow corrupt. It is also possible that you're using an older verion of AHRL where the password was blank (just hit enter). It can't hurt to try a blank password.
What is the name of the file which you downloaded, and from where did you download it?

Another possibility is to run the built-in media check. When you get the text boot screen, type "check" and let it do the checking for you. Consult the attached video for a demonstration using v23e.

Hl Alex,
On the very first text screen, where you type "live" for boot, it tells you the password.
For versions older than v22b, the password did not exist, so for those versions, pressing the return key was correct.
For v22b, the password is "kb1oiq" as shown on the first text screen.
Failing that, verify the MD5SUM on the ISO file which you downloaded.

hi andy and thanks for reply two photos sent to you to examine
Hi Robert,
That's not quite what needs to be done. One needs to compute the MD5SUM for the entire ISO file, as in this example:
md5sum andy_v23e_64bit.iso
