Getting pass the pass word on a acer aspire switch

SOURCE: bios password

Hi John,

Usually to bypass a Bios password on a desktop, we have to just remove and reinsert the button cell on the mother board. Check if you can try to remove and reinstall the button cell as you are using a laptop.

Caution: By doing this,all your BIOS settings will be restored to default settings.

Can't unlock without IBM authority.

When you start the computer hold the "F8" key to activate "safemode". Then start up Windows and look in the control panel/users and change the password.

Hi,

You will need to seek out an engineer, as it will need to be taken apart and then they can short it out at a certain place to reset it.

Thanks

Hi the only possible way to reset the password in the BIOS is to reset the CMOS battery. It is located in one of the panel below the sys (you must have proper expertise to do this) towards the right hand side. The battery is set on a jumper You first need to disconnect all power source i.e adaptor and battery. than remove the panels to try and locate the CMOS Battery. Remember not to tuch anything else or connect any of the cables any where else it may cause a problem for the sys and you. Once the CMOS battery is reset the BIOS password will have gone.
All the best
