The other suggestions of mounting the drive in another pc may work, but it may not, depending on whether or not the laptop has the bios & hard drive interlinked (some do passwordwise).The BIOS Setup Utility is a hardware configuration program built into your computer's BIOS (Basic Input/ Output System). I highly recommend leaving the chip in the board, and purchasing some microclip connectors to attach to the ic leads. *** I have only done this twice in my life, and it is a pita. Here's an example using a similiar technique with an IBM

Hook the chip reader up to a working pc, and run the software to dump the chip memory, then run a decrypter on it for the pc model to get the bios password then using an smt iron resolder the chip to the mb. Then purchase a small chip reader from ebay. You have to desolder the chip from the laptop motherboard. On some models, there is an encrypted password chip on the motherboard.

Acer told me that they have had a problem with their bios passwords corrupting and they are fixing the notebooks absolutely free (and did so for a client of mine.)įinally, since the bios on newer laptops is not just backed up by the cmos battery on some models. That is a link to one on ebay, they cost $10 bucks or so.Īnother thing you can do, is send it back to acer. Personally I find that the ones for toshiba work for just about everything. You plug them in, and they literally erase the bios password of most computers. I have them for parallel port, and usb port. On ebay you can sometimes find 'keys' that remove passwords for laptops. Last resort = send back to ACER and get reset to default. I've probably missing a few things out that I tried like the net user command, and the net user admin active command as well, both failed.Ĭan boot into Safe Mode thought admin might come up the Welcome Screen but that account isn't enabled by default in Vista. How should I pursue my quest to get into this thing ? Can't run CMOS_Password because I can't get into Admin account. No other user is part of the administrator account, so I couldn't just delete it and start a new one. Rang up ACER and they said they don't ship the computers with default BIOS password, and there is no master either (big help you are, cheers mate). These people aren't computer literate at all, so I don't think that they would of set a BIOS password ( I definately didn't). So I chucked that in, but BIOS had a password on it. I had my bootable password reset CD with me (the same one thats on UBCD4WIN boot menu but as an individual bootcd). He is the admin of the computer ( the only one ) and can't get into his account. The Dad of the family said that someone changed his password on him. (I previously set this computer up for them less 6 months ago. Over a mates last night, and asked me to have a look at the computer.
