Clear hdd password - Acer Aspire 4315 Notebook

with the power off and unplugged disconnect the hard drive for the computer. now reboot and go into the bios and try to clear the password. If it is stall asking for a password with the hard drive disconnected then clear the bios password by the jumper on the motherboard. for the cmos reset. If that does not clear it. remove the button battery and wait 5 minutes and reinsert battery and try again.

Hi

if you have just cleared the bios password
i think if you go back and do the same for the hdd password it should work

power up pressing F2 then use arrow keys to go to security and click on hdd password
and try to disable it

Hello,

Well the bios password can be cleared by removing the backup battery generally located under the keyboard. When doing this remove the primary battery and the power cable as well.

As for the hdd password I I believe only a fresh install of the OS can wipe that. The Code its giving you is the product code that you would need to use when you call dell. They may be able to help with the hdd password.

Thanks

Dustin

try removing the cmos battery and reinstalling it.

You should be able to change the password and just leave the new password entry blank. This should efectivly clear your HDD password.

Remove cmos battery, clear cmos with jumper (Be aware to ensure no power cables plugged in to PC or it will damage mobo), re-insert and it will reboot.
