Hello everyone!

I finally installed Trisquel alongside my Windows 7. But now, when I select Windows 7 (loader) in the boot menu, it asks for username and password. I don't know which username it means and whatever I try just returns me to the boot os selection menu. So now I can't access my Windows os.

Is here somebody that can help me please?!
Thanks

It's the Grub password @ /etc/grub.d/01_PASSWORD. Uncomment it or memorize it and you're good to go.

When you're done, don't forget to update your grub:

sudo update-grub
