Cisco ISE 1.2 vm cli admin password recovery

[raun.williams]

I'm having trouble getting this to work.   I was under the impression by mounting the ISO (connect at power on) i could perform the password recovery like it states for the hardware appliance.  However, if i mount the 1.2.0.899 iso image (connect at power) I don't seen to get any options in my vm console?  At most, I have a <enter> at the very beginning that will take me to Grub or ADE boot menu...  but I don't see anything about options to change the password?

It sounds like the VM is booting straight into the disk.

You may need to also change the VM boot options by interrupting the boot and going into the VM BIOS settings and letting it know to put the mounted virtual DVD drive as the priority boot option.

Make sure you are following the steps in the following link:

Also, make sure that the VM Guest is set to boot from DVD/CD first before trying the HDD.
