Actually i bought this laptop of my friend and she broke my screen on my acer aspire and gave me her acer 55530-5552 in return and does not have a clue what her laptop password is any more. how can i reset it .
Hi,
Which password are you referring Windows or BIOS. Well follow the below steps:
Reset BIOS Password: If you have forgot BIOS password then you have to reset CMOS jumper setting. Please follow the below steps: Open the Laptop back panel. Locate the CMOS battrey, remove it & then with the help of a screw driver keep on pressing the terminal inside it and turn ON the computer for 10 secs and Turn Off (make sure you keep on pressing the terminal with a screwdriver while turning ON). It will short the BIOS setting. Now, fix the CMOS battrey & restart the computer. This will take care of the issue.
Inorder to reset the Windows password, I would suggest a full system recovery. To do so, follow the below steps:
Turn Off the computer, now as soon as you hit the power button, keep on holding "Alt" key & keep on tapping "F10" key, i.e Alt+f10, it will open the recovery console, select full factory restore and follow onscreen instruction. NOTE: This will erase all the datas on the computer.
