Answer» I have a laptop ACER Aspire 5100 with Windows XP Media Center Edition. I need to repair the Windows Installation.
The machine doesn't boot up. I tried to boot from CD without success.
I also tried to access the BIOS set up, but the system ask me a password. The Acer USER manual shows a default password, but it doesn't work.
Could someone help me find a way to access the BIOS setup?
Is there another way to make the computer boot from CD?
Thanksdoes the laptop still have warranty?if no, you can try opening the laptop and search for a small battery, take it out and leave you laptop for an hour maybe than turn it on.

Laptop BIOS PASSWORDS cannot be reset with the method listed above...
This is by design.
Acer will probably request proof of purchase.
