Bug Description

I have an old BIOS and decided to install Ubuntu to give life to it again. The specs are pretty decent with 2GB of RAM and a i3 processor.

When trying to install ubuntu, which was 18.04.02 LTS from a live USB made using Rufus on my laptop, till the partitioning of disks and time zone selection is okay. But while entering the password, it says there is a error, either because of dust in the CD or heating too much. I did a full format, re-downloaded the ISO and tried again. Same. And one last time. Same.

Please help me out! Would be much appreciated!!
