Acer Extensa 4620-4648 Notebook - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Hi,
you can try using windows system restore : Which restores your machine to an earlier date.
Start : Programs : Accesories : System tools : System restore.
Thanks,
Fame !

That laptop is very old. If this is running windows, and you have been running the latest windows updates like you should, then it really isn't powerful enough for today's stuff. You could find a fine re-manufactured laptop running windows for $250.

Lost Windows password:

• Log in as Administrator (try safe mode if you don't see Administrator).
• Login as other user (if other user is availible) and manage users.
• Reformat computer.
• Use 3rd party software to remove password. Like http://www.top-password.com/reset-windows-password.html

You have to find the person that put the Hard Drive Password on. I'm not saying you stole the laptop, but 99% of the time if a person has a laptop and does not know the hard drive password, the laptop is stolen. The original Owner put the password on the hard drive to keep thieves from getting to sensitive data. It could have been set remotely by the original owner if the laptop i stolen.

Hi chubico04...

Try this solution to your problem.
Start your computer
1. Keep pressing "F1,F2 or F8" as the laptop computer starts.(Depending on your computer)
This will start the computer in Safe Mode.
2. When the window "Advanced Boot Options" opens, choose "Safe Mode" with arrow key and confim by pressing the Enter key, then PC enters the Safe Mode.
3. Once you are in the Safe mode Click "Administrator" on the Windows login screen.
Take note that you have set the Administrator password before, you need to input the changed password instead of leaving "Password" field blank.
4. Then click Start > Control Panel > User Accounts > Select the account that is locked and change the password.
5. Restart laptop and login into the account you just created using your new password.

Hello

This is what you should do;

Press Alt+ F10 at the first Acer Screen you see when you power the unit on. or when you are in windows it is accessed through Start> Acer Empowering Technology Folder>Acer Erecovery Manager. it will prompt you to create a password after that click Restore at the bottom and choose Restore to Factory Default and confirm by clicking OK.

make sure the unit stays plugged in the entire time it will run about 15-20 minutes and show you a Copying From Partition screen and a loading bar while it processes.

Please note that this will overwrite C:

Hi,

You can set your computer back to factory settings. To do so:

Turn Off the computer; now hit the power button,, as soon as you hit the power button press ALT key and then tap F10 key (i.e ALT+F10); this will come up with the recovery screen, select full system restore or Factory restore and follow onscreen instructions.

Thanks and regards,

Anil.B.R

Please check the RAM

You should be able to remove the password from the CMOS setting.

Just select F1 at boot up and locate the password section once you are in the CMOS Setting then clear it .

Regards

what you need to do is to remove the CMOS BATTERY for some seconds/minutes and then replace it. This brings your machine to default settings and then you can enter a new bios password.start your computer then press F10 for setup/Delete for other machines and then go to bios settings and set a new bios password.In addition to this you can also clear the bios password by removing the shunt on the cmos jumper then plug it other way round, remove it again and then plug it as it was at first.
