I just bought a Acer 5040 from one of my friends. The computer belonged to her brother which is now gone over seas to war. He has got the computer locked where I can't do anything and we have not been able to talk to him,and not for sure when we can. How can I restore the computer with out the disk?
you could start with F10 for system recovery. Select an early reset point hopefully prior to the admin password installation If the lockup is in the BIOS password you could install a new bios chip or add a "user" password.
