Check the bottom of your laptop for a Windows label. the version of Windows will be printed on this label and the product installation code. This means you have a legal Windows operating system and all you need to do is to borrow this version of Windows installation CD from a friend to install Windows on your Acer. I suggest you make a copy of this Windows installation CD. After installing Windows you need to install the laptop's device drivers. You can also get a Recovery CD from Acer for your model Acer laptop. This will have Windows OS as well as the laptop's device drivers.
Download the device drivers from the Acer WEB site. Make sure you select the model of your laptop the drivers you that require that matches the Windows version that is installed on your laptop. Use this link to get to the Acer support: - http://www.acersupport.com/drivers_download.aspx

Order a free Ubutu disk. While waiting for it google acer factory password ubutu. The disk can be used to view passwords, but it's a bit technical.
This one issue makes me hate Acer!
(What are the manufacturers thinking! Nobody writes passwords down when they get a new toy! Even if they did, they've always lost it by the time the thing needs to be erased. Enough rant!)
you will need to access the setup page of the router and check the wireless settings manually. On the wireless tab you will find the WEP WPA network key
