Acer Aspire 9300-3716 password

If you can find another useful computer it can help you create a boot "password" reset disk.
Step 1 On another computer download and install
iSeepasswordwindowspasswordrecovery Launch this software and follow its guide to burn it into a USB drive or CD/DVD. You will get a boot "password reset" disk when prompted "Burning Successfully"
Step 2 Boot your Acer Aspire computer from this disk and then reset password.

Download Trinity Rescue Disk and use it to make a bootable TRK USB drive. You may have to change BIOS settings to allow booting from external USB drive. Boot from the trinity rescue disk, and use the "windows password resetting" feature to remove the password from your user account.

When buying things from a pawn shop, it is wise to check it out to see if it functions properly before you purchase it.
Hard disk passwords cannot be broken/hacked, and putting a new hard disk in the laptop may not work, this depends upon the BIOS password setup.
I suggest you try and return it and get a refund.

I'm assuming you are using the Windows Operating system. Just insert your windows disk, reboot your computer - make sure you boot to CD, and go through the setup there. The setup should wipe everything from your hard drive.

Of course your laptop have an internal hard disk drive And it has a working operating system which unfortunately locked by a password.

To start a fresh installation, you need to have a Windows CD/DVD Installer and a valid CD key.

Turn ON your laptop and load the CD Installer. Leave the CD Installer in the CD drive and restart your laptop by turning it OFF and then back on. It will then start the Setup Program which will guide you in installing a fresh copy of Windows.

After using Darik's boot and nuke (DBAN) your hard drive will be wiped clean with little chance of recovery. This also depends on how many passes you used for the disk wipe. More passes = less chance of recovery.

Hello, I have an old Acer Aspire 3680, the problem is once i press the power button the screen is frozen displaying only the Acer logo, i cannot even go to the BIOS (pressing F2) to change my setting to boot from a CD. Please help. THX

turn off your pc and boot up with the disk in the drive. watch the screen and when it says (boot from cd press any key) do it if it dosent say that. reboot and get into the bios and change the boot order so the disk drive is before the hard drive, save changes and reboot. than press a key when it asks
