I found old version Zorin 16

[Bourne]

Hello all.
Today i discovered when checked my hard disk from drawer and found Zorin.

Propably this is first version Zorin.
Anyone have idea better it not update or something else.
It is gnome not xfce like you seeing. Propably the first installation after bought Zorin Pro.
Any advice help me what can i do with that and o forgot a password. Where i can find a password. With restart password i need go to recovery and go to root priviliges. I don't know if this guide is still good Ubuntu 18.04: Reset forgotten password - Narrow Escape
Forgot your password - #2 by Aravisian
I going with that guide but have info token problems nothing changed.
I tried also update from that recovery place without success.

I have also edited grub added -rw init=/bin/bash then passwd username
worked on 16 in the past that is what i would try.
so in grub hit tab to edit the boot options the line should end with splash --- change to splash -rw init=/bin/bash

1. In Zorin Boot Menu Hit Tab to edit the Line
2. Add -rw init=/bin/bash
   
3. the bash terminal will load in root
   
   
4. type passwd 'yourusername'
5. once you change the password reboot
