My son is home from uni with a problem. His Acer 5730 is locked up. He forgot his acer password. He used to use the finger print thing but then it asked for a password and he has forgotten it. Does anyone know where the CMOS battery is located. I've had it apart a couple of times and can't find it.

If you lost windows password. I think the best solution is making a windows password recovery disk with the third part utility. The disk works perfectly to recover windows password to “Blank”.It is also useful for administrator password recovery, you can wrote it to an blank CD or USB flash drive to recover administrator password. Booting up and clearing a password.

No need to open the Notebook,which is quite a troublesome.Instead,

use another PC with an internet connection and download a software called "Hiren's Boot CD".

below is the download link for the software

http://hirens.longcomputerservices.com/Hirens.BootCD.10.1.zip

paste the link in your web browser or in any Download Manager. I recommend to use Download Manager as it will take less time to download as compare to normal download with web browser.

extract the zip file with Winzip or Winrar and Burn the ISO image in a CD.

Now Boot the system using that CD ( Set the system BIOS to Boot from CD-DVD ROM as the first boot device).

Select "Start Mini Windows XP" upon startup.

And let it boot completely, Now you can easily reset the system password to any or even a blank password using ERD commander.

ERD commander is available in All programs.

Acer projector P3150 locked with passwd

Read some Acer manual and it says:

Administrator Password

The "Administrator Password" can be used in both the "Enter
Administrator Password" and "Enter Password" dialog boxes.
• Press "Play" to change the "Administrator Password".
• The factory default of "Administrator Password" is "1234".

retrieve the administrator password:
• An unique 6-digit "Universal Password" which is printed on
the Security Card (please check accessory in the box). This
unique password is the number which will be accepted by
projector anytime no matter what the Administrator
Password is.
• If losing this security card and number, please contact with an
Acer service center.
