Why I want to set my laptop back to Factory settings...because I can't do anything else on it. All I can do is, put in a pass word once it is on, then the Windows Repair Dialogue box appears, saying windows trying to fix problem. But then it's saying and showing window's is unable to fix problem.....etc etc etc. Hence Why I want to set it back to Factory Default settings, but I can't because I need password, which I can't remember what it is.

You do know you can only re-install the OS if it is on your hard/ssd drive in the first place and only certain models have this function.
Have you tried while in Windows, to use the Start Menu, find Acer on the All Programs list, and locate the recovery utility? I have an Acer laptop - an Aspire - and had to do exactly that. I used the built-in recovery routine on the Acer Laptop and was able to rebuild my laptop to the condition of when it just came out of the box, brand new.It will delete all your installations since you got it, applications and documents and photos, etc., will be gone, but your laptop will function as if brand new. Good luck with it. -a.

You can remove or change the Window's User or administrator's password. You need access to a computer with Internet access to download the Hiren's Boot CD and burn it onto a CD. Then insert this CD into the laptop/computer and boot up the laptop/computer with the Hiren's CD and follow the instructions. There are very useful utilities CD and it a Linux boot CD which contains quite a lot of Utility programs including a password removal program. Click on one of these links to download HIREN'S BOOTCD :- http://www.hirensbootcd.net/ http://67.20.82.163/
Unfortunately, there is no way to recover a lost or forgotten password from a router or access point; you will need to reset the device to factory defaults. However, once the device is reset to factory defaults, you can use the default username ("admin") and password (either "password" or "1234" depending on your router) to reconfigure your router settings.
or
if there is a small hole in the front or back of the router push a hair pin in to reset to factory settings
hope this helps
