Hey,

Got a mate who has just got a Acer Aspire 5715 laptop and he isnt the greatest with computers so not totally sure what hes done. But basiclly, he says that its meant to install windows on the first time of booting up. When he first boot up it asked him to pick a bios password which he did. It then rebooted and asked him for the password, and put it in and it woudlnt work.

Now cant start it up as it needs the password, is there any back doors, or ways to reset the bios password?

Cheers,

Dave
 
Try 0000, a lot of acer's I've seen through work have had bios passwords put on them and they are often either 4 or 6 noughts.

Give it a go but if they've actually set one themselves and can't remember it and the battery can't be removed, it's game over unfortunately.
 
hi, on most laptops resetting bios wont work, if new get in touch with maker they will need proof of purchase. if s/hand may be stuffed, as so many are stolen.
