Acer laptops are equipped with a BIOS utility.
The BIOS (which stands for "Basic Input Output System") acts as an interface between the hardware and software installed on the computer.
On some computers, a BIOS password may be required in order to boot the computer and make changes to the BIOS settings.
If you are unable to access the BIOS settings and do not know how to reset the BIOS password, you might be tempted to send the computer back to the manufacturer for repair.
Fortunately, that's not necessary as there is a simple way to do this on your own.

Go to "Start," then perform a search for "Command Prompt."
The Windows Start button is located in the lower-left corner of your computer screen.
Double-click on "Command Prompt" to open the application.
You will need to use MS-DOS commands to reset the BIOS password.

Type the following commands one by one in the order shown:
debug
o 70 2E
o 71 FF
quit
Make sure that you are typing the letter "o" and not a zero at the beginning of the second and third commands.
Reboot your computer by clicking "Start," "Shutdown," and then "Restart."
The BIOS password will now be reset to default.

you could download all of these or just one save them to a usb drive for later use if one fails to remove the password

1. Please check in the Device Manager if the Camera is listed next to Imaging Device.

Press the Windows Logo+R key, it will open the RUN command window. In RUN command window type 'devmgmt.msc' and press the Enter key to open the Device Manager.

2. If the Camera is not listed in the Device Manager window, then reset the BIOS to default values and then try installing the Camera Driver or Camera Software.

NOTE: Disconnect all the external peripherals connected to the Computer except AC Adapter, then start the Computer and press the F2 or DEL key as soon as the Computer starts and the ACER logo appears to access the BIOS Setup screen.

Then, on the BIOS Setup screen, press the F9 key followed by the Enter key to reset the BIOS to default values and then press the F10 key to Save and Exit from the BIOS screen.

IMP: The Basic Input/Output System(BIOS) is a set of instructions stored on a ROM chip which handles all input-output functions. The BIOS communicates between the Operating System and the Computer's Hardware. Resetting the BIOS will reset the Hardware configuration to setup default values and data in the Computer will not be lost.

3. If the Camera is not listed in the "Device Manager" window even after resetting the BIOS to default values and re-installing the Camera Drivers and Software, then the Computer requires service to resolve the issue.


Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!

I have the same problem. you didn't install the BIOS flash from the Lenovo site, did you? There are atleast 20 people I found in the last 2 days that have the same problem.
First try the XP CD - repairing, reinstalling and those things.
If you can't get the windows to start any way possible, because you get the mesage the hdd isn't found, check the bios. if the bios doesn't have it either, your disc went dead. if the bios sees the disc, reset the BIOS.
if it still doesn't work, reset CMOS. to do that, cutt all the power supplies and then remove the cmos battery and put it back in after about 15 minutes (computers usually have a lot of condensators, so you need to wait for all the power to drain out). everything in bios and cmos will reset.
if that doesnt work either, post and we'll try on together.
