Steps for Clearing BIOS Password Check
If users set BIOS Password ( Supervisor Password and/or User Password ) for a security reason, BIOS will
ask the password during systems POST or when systems enter to BIOS Setup menu. However, once it is
necessary to bypass the password check, users need to short the HW Gap to clear the password by the
following steps:
q Power Off a system, and remove HDD, AC and Battery from the machine.
q Open the back cover of the machine, and find out the HW Gap on M/B as picture.
q Use an electric conductivity tool to short the two points of the HW Gap.
q Plug in AC, keep the short condition on the HW Gap, and press Power Button to power on the
system till BIOS POST finish. Then remove the tool from the HW Gap.
q Restart system. Press F2 key to enter BIOS Setup menu.
q If there is no Password request, BIOS Password is cleared. Otherwise, please follow the steps and
try again.
NOTE: The steps are only for clearing BIOS Password ( Supervisor Password and User Password ).
Below is the picture of the Jumper location by the memory modules. These two points have to be "shorted".
Greetings I would like to help me clear up a problem that I have done these steps on a maple aspire 4333 and the machine was shut down and a few times while doing the short lit and not lit but please help the computer is not mine and if they would have to pay damages
Hey! As far as I know, you can use free software or paid software to recover an Administrator password. Free one not only wasting you a lot of time, but also losing data sometimes. Paid one will be more safe and stable. I recommend this website: http://www.passwordseeker.com Hope it helps you. Good luck!

Hi there,
Only way is to remove the CMOS battery for an hour or two and hook it back. It should work.
Optional is conatct Acer they would have a Default password for all the machines that they produce.
Post back if it is not working we will be happy to help you.
Hope this helps.
Cheers!!!!
