Reset password

Windows operating systems allow you to set up an administrator password, which prevents unauthorized users from downloading applications and making system changes without your permission.

If you have forgotten your administrator password, you can reset it easily and create a new one that you can use to log into Windows.

Since Acer Aspire computers use Windows operating systems, resetting your password is a simple process you can accomplish in minutes.

Restart the Acer Aspire.
When Windows boots up, select the username you want to reset the password for and press "Enter."


Click "Use your password reset disk" to launch the password reset wizard. The password reset wizard enables you to create a new password for your user account.

Click "Next" on the password reset wizard and insert the password reset disk.
Click "Next."

Type your new password in the "Type a new password" box and type the password again in the confirmation box.

Type a hint to you use in case you forget your password next time.
Click "Finish" to activate your new password.

Restart your computer and log on to Windows using your new password.

How to log on to the computer by using a password reset disk
If you forget your password, you can log on to the computer by using a new password that you create by using the Password Reset Wizard and your password reset disk. To do this, follow these steps:
  1. On the Windows XP logon screen, click the user name that you want to use. The Type your password box appears. Press ENTER or click the right-arrow button. You receive the following error message: Did you forget your password?
    You can click the "?" button to see your password hint.
    Or you can use your password reset disk.

    Please type your password again.
    Be sure to use the correct uppercase and lowercase letters.
  2. Click use your password reset disk. The Password Reset Wizard starts. The Password Reset Wizard permits you to create a new password for your user account.

    Note This hint is visible to anyone who tries to log on to the computer by using your user account.
  8. Click Next, and then click Finish. The Password Reset Wizard quits, and you return to the Windows XP logon screen.

    Note The password reset disk is automatically updated with the new password information. You do not have to create a new password reset disk.
  9. Type your new password in the Type your password box, and then click the right-arrow button to log on to the computer.
Troubleshooting
  • The password reset disk cannot be used to reset the password on another computer.

    The password reset disk that you create can only be used with the computer it was created on. For example, if you have two Windows XP-based computers that have the same user names and passwords, a password reset disk that you create on the first computer cannot be used to reset the password on the second computer.
  • The password reset disk contains sensitive information.

    Other users may be able to use the password reset disk to gain access to your computer. For this reason, store this disk in a safe and secure location.
