The Acer Aspire One has built-in BIOS recovery which can be used to flash its BIOS. Once the BIOS has been flashed, all BIOS settings are reset to default which gets rid of the BIOS password. This procedure has been posted Aug 2008 on macles for friends of the aspire one to address the BIOS failure that frequented early versions of the Aspire One BIOS. I have used the procedure on my own Acer Aspire One when it bricked in the fall of 2008 and once more in 2009 to install a later BIOS version. Acer also posted Feb 2009 the similar procedure on AcerSupport but has since removed it. Be aware that you must follow the procedure carefully and do so at your own risk. Here is the macles link.

Where is Cmos Clear jumper on motherboard to clear Bios password.

If you can't find the jumper, just remove the CMOS battery wait for 1/2 + hour and the re-insert the battery. This will reset the BIOS back to the default settings and you then need to set the Time & Date.
It may not remove the BIOS password if the laptop stores the password on an EEPROM chip.
