Unlock Backtrack screen

If the toor password does not work it is because perhaps you are running the vm for the first time (or a live version).

When the screen is locked do the following:

  1. ctrl+alt+f2
  2. type "passwd"
  3. choose a password
  4. alt+f7  (return to the screen locked) // Update: alternatively try alt+f8
  5. type your new pass and the screen unlocks
